Juno Award-winning vocalist, pianist, and composer (and beloved CBC Radio host) Laila Biali graces the BlueShore at CapU stage with her most ambitious show yet, Wintersongs & Holiday Classics, on December 5 at 7:30 pm.
Audiences can revel in winter-inspired original music from Biali’s just-released album Wintersongs alongside thrilling arrangements of secular and sacred classics. Performing with Biali are fellow Juno Award-winning saxophonist-flautist Jane Bunnett; bassist Dan Fortin; violinist Rebekah Wolkstein; celebrated First Nations dancer Sarah Prosper; and, for this show only, Capilano University’s acclaimed choir NiteCap.
Biali spent last winter at Alberta’s Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity, where she wrote most of the enchanting tracks on Wintersongs. The spectacular locale inspired her to embrace what she has described as “the gift that comes during the winter” and the “beauty to be found in the cold".”
Biali has headlined festivals and venues around the world, from New York City’s Carnegie Hall to Beijing’s National Centre for the Performing Arts. Among her collaborators are Chris Botti, Suzanne Vega, and Sting.
