Rideau Chorale enters our 2026 winter season with a performance of Benjamin Britten’s Saint Nicolas and Three Carols, arranged by Kevin Reeves. Our audience will be invited to participate in the singing of carols and hymns during the concert.Benjamin Britten’s Saint Nicolas, Op. 42 (1948) is a dramatic cantata with a libretto by Eric Crozier. It tells the legendary life story of Saint Nicolas, the 4th-century Bishop of Myra. Crozier’s libretto presents a dramatic portrait of the saint's character, exaggerating the legends and glory that have accumulated over the centuries around the story of Saint Nicolas.
Rideau Chorale, directed by Kevin Reeves, is joined by Matthew Larkin (organ), noted tenor soloist Nils Brown (Nicolas), boy soprano, mixed choir, children's/treble choir, string orchestra, piano duet, organ, and percussion, plus audience participation on two hymns.
We hope you’ll join us this December for this special presentation of Benjamin Britten’s Saint Nicolas.
Southminster United Church is accessible through the Aylmer Street door closest to Bank Street.
