In Winter's House
 

DECEMBER 9, 2023
PERFORMANCE WORKS, GRANVILLE ISLAND

"In winter's house there's a flame 
being dreamt by a child in the night, 
in the small quiet house at the turn in the lane 
where the darkness gives way to light." 
            -Jayne Draycott, set by Joanna Marsh

Who is this concert for? 

  • The Christmas concert purist

  • those looking for new traditions

 

What will I know and what will be new to me?

  • You’ll experience the whole gamut of seasonal music including new arrangements of well known carols and music from your favourite TV specials. 

  • You’ve heard Morten Lauridsen’s O Magnum Mysterium before, but have you ever heard it accompanied by mushrooms? Have you heard Christmas music with Raga influences, like Reena Esmail’s Winter Breviary, or a tribute to Filipino Christmas traditions, like Meet Me for Noche Buena by Saunder Choi

  • You might have joined us in the past thirty years of concerts in cathedrals, and this year you’ll experience those same feelings on the festive Granville Island, in a space accessible to all!

 

How is a December concert with musica intima different?

  • In this season of warmth and tradition, our connections to you and to each other create a beautiful intimacy.

  • Together, we’ll all learn what Winter’s House means to our Storyteller-in-Residence, T’uy’t’tanat-Cease Wyss, as well as experience diverse viewpoints through composers from a variety of cultural backgrounds
