IT’S BACK BY popular demand: last year, Vancouver Chamber Choir held its first Christmas by Candlelight. Audiences loved it so much that it’s a new tradition, giving people a chance to have a peaceful break amid the busy-ness of the holiday season.

The 2023 concert features Sarah Quartel’s This endris night; Reena Esmail “We Look for You” (from A Winter Breviary); Ola Gjeilo’s Second Eve; Healey Willan’s Here are we in Bethlehem; Matthew Whittall’s “Earth Grown Old” (from Christmas Hath a Darkness); Becky McGlade’s In the bleak midwinter; Morten Lauridsen’s O magnum mysterium; Tamsin Jones’s Noel: Verbum caro factum est; Benjamin Britten’s A Hymn to the Virgin; Oliver Tarney’s The Waiting Sky; Fredrik Sixten’s There is no Rose of such Vertu; Juhani Komulainen’s Vinternatten; and Matthew Whittall’s “Love came down at Christmas” (from Christmas Hath a Darkness).

It all happens amid a glow.
