About this Event
We are thrilled to be presenting an unusually beautiful and interesting winter concert Sunday, December 8, 2024, beginning at 3pm at St Mary’s Church, 1701 Elgin Road.
The centrepiece of the concert is the stunning multi-movement work, Dreamweaver by Norwegian-American composer Ola Gjeilo.
A musical retelling of the famous Norwegian medieval folk poem, the Draumkvedet, Dreamweaver tells the story of a man who goes to sleep on Christmas Eve and has visions of the afterlife. On awakening, he understands that we must all be kind to one another.
We are pairing this exceptional work with pieces on the theme of polar night based on music by the of Scandinavia, by of Canada, and by traditional choral music from Sweden and Norway.
Concert features the world premiere of 'There is No Rose' by Ramona Luengen and the newly composed 'Iesous ahatonnia' by Sarah Quartel, Andree Levesque-Sioui and Jeanette Gallant.
$30 general admission, $20 students
NOTE 1: Children who are 12 and under will be admitted for free.
