Hold on to your hats—it’s descant time! Camerata Nova teams up with the acclaimed Winnipeg Boys Choir to celebrate the rich tradition of music sung in the great English cathedrals at Christmas time. The repertoire includes early chant and carols, plus works by English greats such as Byrd, Vaughan Williams, Holst, Mathias and Gibbons. But Queen Elizabeth wouldn’t recognize it all… Andrew Balfour has come up with some stellar new carol arrangements and the group will premiere three made-in-Manitoba versions of What Child is This?. Singers take note: There will be some great opportunities to join with us in celebrating the season!
Admission is free; however, donations are gratefully accepted. Bins will also be stationed at the entrance for contributions to Winnipeg Harvest.
