Join us to celebrate Christmas as a “New Day” that gives us light, love, and revelry at the darkest time of the year! Over 80 singers from A Joyful Noise – monday and thursday choirs will be exploring the many moods of Christmas, from sacred pieces such as the solemn and anticipatory Veni, Veni Emmanuel to the lighthearted fun of The Twelve Days of Christmas. The centrepiece of the concert will be Ralph Vaughn Williams’ beautiful and traditional Fantasia on Christmas Carols, but we will also pay tribute to our old friend Charlie Brown and his jazzy Christmas theme. With beloved music such as Carol of the Bells and Deck the Halls, we will forget the blustery weather and savour the beauty and warmth of the season.

The Joyful singers are thrilled to be joined in concert by accomplished musicians Josiah Maxfield as baritone soloist, and Josephine van Lier on cello. The concert will be conducted by A Joyful Noise’s own Roderick Bryce and Ian Bannerman.

The concert will take place on Sunday, December 3 at 4:00 p.m. at Southminster-Steinhauer United Church (10740 – 19 Ave.). Advance tickets are available through Edmonton Arts Council Shop & Services or from Joyful Noise choir members for $20. On concert day tickets can be purchased at the door for $25.
