Immerse yourself in a mesmerizing blend of Christmas and winter carols as Elektra kicks off its 38th season with this exhilarating folk oratorio. Experience the warmth and brilliance of melodies enriched with Appalachian, Shape Note, Gospel, and British Isles folk traditions. Feel the rhythm with toe-tapping fiddle tunes on Brightest and Best and get swept away by the sparkling bluegrass banjo-like rhythms on Angels We Have Heard on High. Dive deep into the soul-stirring gospel grooves and saxophone solos in Lo, How a Rose and Children, Go Where I Send Thee, while the unique silvery sound of the hammered dulcimer adds a magical touch to your evening. Breathtaking original video art projections by the internationally renowned Syrian-American artist Kevork Mourad transform the performance into an immersive journey through the season’s mysteries. Let the soaring voices of Vancouver’s renowned Elektra launch your own festive season.
