The first half of our popular pre-Christmas concert will focus on winter. Former Jubilate conductor Larry Nickel‘s Miles to go Before I Sleep will have you rethinking the mysteries around Robert Frost’s most famous work, while Spotless Rose and Wintertide from another of our favourite composers, Norwegian Ola Gjeilo, further evoke the serenity of a cold and snowy winter’s eve. The second half spotlights Christmas carols from eight different countries, plus Shakespeare’s Winter Wind set to music by Brandon Williams. Come and chill!

Our world tour stops in a dozen countries with languages from Cantonese to Gaelic. Ethan Sperry’s Desh (an Indian raga) uses chants and overtone singing to mimic the sounds of Indian percussion. Irish folk song Dulaman (arr. Rollo Fisher) looks at the traditional gathering of seaweed to stem famine, while Canadian folk pieces Away from the Roll of the Sea (Jen McMillan) and Susan Aglukark’s Song of the Land (Jeff Enns) are sure to hit home. The tour ends with JVE Soprano Katerina Gimon’s To the Peak of the Mountain. Worth going out for!

Concluding the concert and our season are Daniel Elder’s stunning Three Nocturnes: Ballade to the Moon, Star Sonnet and Lullaby. Prepare to be dazzled.
