A Lightly Classical Christmas

Enjoy the warm yuletide glow as Edmonton’s award-winning children’s choir, Cantilon Chamber Choir, joins your ESO to perform works inspired by Christmas and holiday traditions. From classic carols from centuries past (O Holy Night, Deck The Halls, O Come All Ye Faithful, Silent Night) to charming new carols by John Rutter, this is a perfect way to get into the Christmas spirit. You’ll also hear a delightful mix of serene and celebratory pieces by Tchaikovsky, Mozart, Fauré, and Humperdinck.
