JVE’s winter concert Comfort and Joy to feature string quartet, soloists and carol singalongs
Saturday, December 14 at 7:30 p.m.
Sunday, December 15 at 2:30 p.m.
Both at St. James Community Square (West 10th and Trutch) in Kitsilano
Jubilate Vocal Ensemble is excited to announce our winter 2024 concert! Comfort and Joy will feature rich traditional music and creative arrangements from composers past and present. The classic Magnificat, written by Francesco Durante in 1720, is a lively and moving baroque tribute to the Christmas season, while a jazzy arrangement of Handel’s Hallelujah Chorus infuses a longstanding Christmas favourite with gospel flair. We’ll also be performing a richly textured nativity-themed composition by our Music Director John R. Williams – Night of Wonder – with talented guest tenor soloist Sam Chung.
Comfort and Joy will also include some popular carols as well as singalongs of traditional favourites. Owing to last year’s sell-out, we are offering two performances this year: Saturday, December 14 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, December 15 at 2:30 p.m. – both at St. James Community Square (West 10th and Trutch) in Kitsilano. Save these dates – you do not want to miss this!
We urge pre-booking to avoid disappointment. Tickets are available online from www.eventbrite.ca or at the door. Most credit and debit cards are now accepted.
