Event Description

Victoria’s premier women’s choir brings light into the darkness this Christmas season with Skyward! In two concerts, Ensemble Laude brings its unique brand of era-sweeping melodies, from Romantic and Classical composers such as Hasse and Haydn, to modern Scandinavian pieces by Part Uusberg and Henning Sommero. Contemporary Canadian composers Don MacDonald, and Victoria’s Georgina Craig and Nicholas Fairbank are presented with Ukrainian composer Galina Grigorjeva's In Paradisum transporting the listener to sublime heights. Ensemble Laude brings the listener from pathos, with Ivo Antognini's Mia Stella, a refugee father's song to his son as they make the treacherous crossing to a new land, to an eternal statement of hope in the world premiere of Sarah Quartel's How Can I Keep from Singing.
Come let your heart be uplifted on a cold winter’s night with our songs of love and joy.
