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

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!
