Featuring a blend of words and music both ancient and modern, "Our Soul Is Song" explores the power of song to refresh the soul as it unites people across time and space - bringing joy in the midst of darkness, peace and healing in times of sorrow, and fortitude and resolve when it is needed the most.
At the heart of this program will be a performance of Benjamin Britten's Ceremony of Carols, a beloved classic for choir and harp that breathes new life into ancient Medieval carol texts through Britten's intricate choral writing. Complementing the carols' timeless message of seeking light and hope, the choir will also perform new works by Canadian composers Katerina Gimon, Ruth Watson-Henderson, Tracy Wong, and more.
Two opportunities to attend "Our Soul Is Song":
1. In Wolfville - Tuesday, December 2 at Denton Hall Auditorium
2. In Lunenburg - Friday, December 5 at St. John's Anglican Church
