The Chamber Choir here brings an Advent festival of music and poetry, Voices of Light to St. George’s Anglican Church on Nov. 26 at 8pm.
Enjoy the sound of voices, organ and brass heralding Christmas, along with seasonal readings.
Be prepared to sing along with familiar carols, with an opportunity to perform the Hallelujah Chorus as part of an expanded chorus of volunteers amidst the choir.
A special feature will be Musica Viva Brass. Conductor Gerald Neufeld said, “Brass instruments have a special way of heralding the Christmas season with their clear, bright tones. We have created a concert that will present familiar Christmas favourites, but will also feature works of nuanced beauty, new to both audience and choir.”
The evening will feature Halley’s Voices of Light, Pinkham’s Christmas Cantata for choir, brass and organ, Whitacre’s charming Lux aurumque, and Silver’s The Twelve Days After Christmas. Choir members will present poetry and readings.
Single tickets are available for $25 or four or more for $20. Young adults can attend with $10 tickets for students and those 30, and for $5 with the eyeGO program.
Single tickets are available through choir or board members, through the River Run Centre by calling 519-763-3000 or online at www.riverrun.ca.
