Sunday, December 6th, 2015
2:30 PM to 4:30 PM

The Christmas season is a time for a great variety of music; formal concerts, carolling, theatre. Here is a chance to feel the spirit of Christmas as the Nanaimo Chamber Orchestra plays through a trajectory of time, beginning in the 18th century and leading to the present. The NCO will play 3 Baroque Christmas Concertos - by Torelli, Manfredini and Corelli, plus a wonderful rendition of Alessandro Scarlatti's Christmas Cantata, featuring soprano, Skye Donald.


The program will include also, "The Shepherd's Farewell", from Berlioz' L'Enfance du Christ, a Christmas Medley of 5 ancient carols, and a Sing-a-long of a few familiar carols - guaranteed to send you home humming and anticipating Christmas in all its dimensions. Skye Donald, a long-time resident of Errington, is a popular soloist in the mid-Island region, especially in the operatic genre. She recently performed a solo concert, "Arie Antiche", a program of Early Music - arias and art songs.
