About

Conductor: Ross Brownlee

 

For their 20th anniversary gala concert, enter the court chapel in Dresden on December 25, 1620. You will hear a Lutheran Christmas Mass by Michael Praetorius, just as it would have been performed on that day. This was a major event with storytelling, drama and joy, featuring two choirs, large choruses, eight soloists, 18 period instruments – the works! Early music specialist Ross Brownlee is leading this glorious presentation with Camerata Nova singers, the Westgate Collegiate Concert Choir, the Encore Quartet and other local soloists, and top early music instrumentalists from Montréal, Winnipeg and elsewhere. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to hear (and participate in!) this spectacular choral experience!
