The Thrill of Hope: A Holiday Concert is a new work created by Beau Dixon, Raha Javanfar, and Luke Reece, directed by Reece at Soulpepper's Michael Young Theatre. The concert draws on the age-old human tradition of meeting the darkest nights of the year with music and song, spanning cultures and centuries. It is a celebration of the impulse to gather and hold one another through the dark, honoring the songs and rituals that have always risen to meet the longest nights of winter.
