Tickets Now Onsale for The Lyric Theatre Singers' CANDLELIGHT CHRISTMAS 2017
By: Stephi Wild Nov. 10, 2017
The Lyric Theatre Singers return to Concordia University's Loyola Chapel, (7141 Sherbrooke Street West), to present 4 performances of CANDLELIGHT CHRISTMAS 2017 from December 7 to 10. Tickets are now on sale.
Not only is the chorus comprised of singers of all ages and ethnic backgrounds, musical director Bob Bachelor's selection of songs integrates the music of various cultures that celebrate the "season of lights" at this time of year. With fresh, unique arrangements of carols, holiday standards and rare gems, ranging in styles from Calypso, Celtic, and Gospel to Pop, Broadway medleys, and Chanukah favourites, sung in both official languages, the extensive repertoire plays to the Singers' strength as performers and musicians.
"This ensemble is steeped in Musical Theatre; telling stories is something they do well", confides Bachelor, founder of the Lyric Theatre offshoot. "Every year patrons tell us that our choice of material and the wonderful ambiance and acoustics of the Loyola Chapel are the reasons they return time and time again. They sense and respond to the profound connection the Singers have with each other, to the music, and to our audiences, making it a very intimate and special seasonal event."
To further enrich the magical experience are the talented instrumentalists: Sheila Hannigan (cello), Tim Malloch (flute), Robin Best (harp), and Peter Colantonio (percussion, keyboard) who join forces with Benjamin Kwong (piano) to serve up a family concert to kick off the season with festive enthusiasm.
Tickets are $30 for adults, $27 for students/seniors and $14 for children 10 and under.
