Songs for a Winter’s Night – Acadia University Singers

November 26 @ 7:30 PM - 9:30 PM

Donation at the door
In Wolfville on Tuesday, November 26, the Acadia University Singers present “Songs for a Winter’s Night” – a concert of seasonal music that explores different perspectives on winter.  As part of the program, the Singers and special guest cellist Connor Cornick will perform Sarah Quartel’s “Snow Angel,” a 5-movement cycle for choir, piano, and cello that uses the metaphor of winter angels to celebrate the “beauty, and the strength that a child’s voice can bring to our troubled world” (Quartel).  Other selections include music by Andrew Balfour, Jennifer Lucy Cook, Ola Gjeilo, Katerina Gimon, Marie Claire Saindon, and Robbie Smith, plus a beautiful choral arrangement of Gordon Lightfoot’s classic, “Song for a Winter’s Night”.   With a mix of new music and seasonal favourites, this is a program of music that will warm your heart – even if it is cold outside!
Directed by Dr. Michelle Boyd, the Acadia University Singers are a treble-voice chamber choir, comprised of both current students and alumni.  Joining them in performance are pianist Cian McCarron as well as several guest musicians from the School of Music.
This concert begins at 7:30pm in Denton Hall Auditorium.  Admission is by freewill donation at the door.
