Chor Leoni invites audiences to experience the mystery, wonder, and sparkling joy of the holiday season at its annual celebration Christmas with Chor Leoni. Performances take place at St. Andrew’s–Wesley United Church on December 18 at 7:30 pm, December 19 at 5 pm and 8 pm, and December 20 at 2 pm, 5 pm, and 8 pm.

Christmas with Chor Leoni brings four world premieres to a sacred historical venue with soaring acoustics and immersive lighting. Among them is composer-in-residence Marie-Claire Saindon’s “Jubilo”, which pairs medieval Christmas tunes with folk sounds. The program offers a blend of traditional favourites such as “Deck the Halls” and “Silent Night” alongside reinvented carols by indie-music stars Tori Amos and Sufjan Stevens.

The concert features Vancouver-based pianists Karen Lee-Morang and Tina Chang, harpist Vivian Chen, violinist Cameron Wilson, guitarist Keith Sinclair, and santour player Saina Khaledi.
