Newcombe Singers
December 13 & 14
Join Mary Lou Hess and Patricia Hofstrand on December 13th or 14th (or both!) with their choir, the Newcombe Singers, and the Newcombe Chamber Orchestra for a musical tour of the night sky on the longest night of the year and the powerful sunrise that follows.
A concert filled with dreams, wondering, inspiration, and renewal, our concert sings you through the dreamscape of the darkest night, after which we rise, emerging into the light, with the most important sunrise of the year.
To enhance our musical experience, the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada will have TELESCOPES on site at intermission so audience members can view the night sky!
Music includes: Goodnight Moon by Eric Whitacre, Anang! (A Star) by Andrew Balfour, Stars by Erik Esenvalds, and Measure Me Sky by Elaine Hagenberg.
We finish the concert with a full performance of Ola Gjeilo’s hugely uplifting SUNRISE MASS, performed with string orchestra led by Simon MacDonald.
