"A voice like liquid gold"- New York Cabaret Exchange

Celebrate the season with a rich variety of winter solstice songs and traditional Christmas music. Backed by a lush instrumental ensemble of strings, brass, percussion and piano, tenor Ken Lavigne lends his rich and lyric vocal talents to create a truly stirring and unique blend of classical, folk and popular music.

A message from Ken - "Much of the music we hear at Christmas time is so well-known that it just passes right through our ears. I'd like to help people rediscover the magic and beauty of these seasonal songs. I believe that music has always provided a gateway to our spirituality, no matter how one chooses to celebrate at this time of year. Music gives us hope and renews our faith in one another."

Ken is an established classical singer, performing with symphonies and opera companies across North America, from prize-winning performances in Ireland to the special honour of performing for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on her Jubilee.
Earlier this year, he captured the collective imagination of Canadians and Americans when he rented Carnegie Hall to perform with the renowned New York Pops Orchestra. The concert was a critical success and brought Lavigne into the circle of North America's elite performers.
