7:30-9 p.m. - Navidad Nuestra, Argentinian composer Ariel Ramirez’s 1963 folk drama telling the story of the Nativity through the rhythms and traditions of Hispanic America, is the centrepiece of a holiday concert that explores the music of different cultures. Laurie Evan Fraser conducts the Upper Canada Choristers and their accomplished Latin ensemble Cantemos, with pianist Hye Won (Cecilia) Lee, and guest musicians.
With poetry by Felix Luna, Navidad Nuestra places the story of the Nativity in a South American setting, each of its six movements reflecting the music of a different regional culture. Joining the choir for this work are Ernesto Cárdenas, kena; Miguel Vásquez, percussion and kena; José Sanhueza, guitar; and Rodrigo Chavez, charango and percussion.
Also enjoy British and Celtic Christmas music, a Hebrew song that expresses a longing for peace, a joyous Chanukah number, & singalong carols. A Canadian carol, Comfort and Joy, composed by Laurie Evan Fraser to words by Jacqui Atkin, was inspired by the challenges of COVID.
Tickets are on Eventbrite and at the door. More info at https://www.uppercanadachoristers.org/. Or email info@uppercanadachoristers.org.
