The Sooke Community Choir invites the community to share the glow of the winter season with family and friends at their upcoming Winter Heart Concert Series, December 7, 8 and 9.
The choir will be conducted by Artistic Director Bruce Ruddell and accompanied by resident pianist Kathy Russell with guest artists on cello (Silvina Samuel), violin (Adrian Dolan), and guitar.
The concert includes a combination of classical musical and popular winter songs.
“It will be a very gentle concert,” says Ruddell. “A meditative, beautiful concert. It will really center people,” he says. The programme will include pieces by Mozart, Brahams, Bach, as well as some popular contemporary songs.
“Revel in the delightful voices of the choir as they share a selection of classical and contemporary pieces evocative of the beauty of the winter season,” says Ruddell. The reflective, beautiful music is intended to conjure up the delight of the first snowfall of winter.
The concerts in Sooke start at 7:30 pm on each of Friday December 7 and Saturday December 8. The matinee on Sunday December 9 is at 2 pm.
All concerts will be held at Sooke Community Hall, 2037 Shields Road, in Sooke.
Tickets are $20 each (or free for ages 16 and under) available at Shoppers Drug Mart (Sooke) by cash or cheque, and at the door (cash/cheque). Online the tickets can be purchased at www.eventbrite.com
