“Alleluia” – a shout of joy and gratitude for what we cherish. We are excited to open our concert with this dynamic composition by Elaine Hagenberg.

Our programme includes familiar carols, sacred and secular, in fresh settings, including two by Quebec composers Jean-Charles Côté and Peter Schubert, as well as two jewels of the Renaissance by Sweelinck and Handl-Gallus. Other contemporary composers include Don Macdonald (“Ave Maris Stella”) and James MacMillan (“O Radiant Dawn”). Songs by Reena Esmail, Linda Kachelmeier , Timothy Takach and Melissa Dunphy celebrate winter and the renewal promised by the solstice. And Michael McGlynn’s “Angels Are Singing” adds a playful touch of jazz.
