The Guelph Chamber Choir heralds the Christmas season with an afternoon concert of Carols for Christmas, at St. George’s Anglican Church on Dec. 1 at 3pm.
As well as the opportunity to sing along with familiar carols, the choir will be joined by the many-handed talents of Bells Ablaze, a celebrated handbell choir from London, Ontario led by Susan Carscadden-Mifsud.
Between the music, choir members will present poetry and readings throughout the afternoon concert.
Plan to come early to hear virtuoso Gerald Martindale play a recital of music for the carillon in St. George’s bell tower starting at 2:30pm prior to concert time.
Conductor Gerald Neufeld noted, “Our annual presentation of Christmas music allows the choir to enjoy the abundance of beautiful music created for this special season. Along with favourite carols, we present new or forgotten songs to delight our listeners.”
Tickets are available for $25 each ($10 each for students and those 30 and under and only $5 for youths with eyeGO) or four for $80.
Tickets are available from choir or board members, through the River Run Centre by calling 519-763-3000 or online at http://www.riverrun.ca. Tickets will also be available at the door.
