An immersive experience, audiences will be transported to a winter wonderland with the atmospheric illumination of St. Andrew’s-Wesley United, and breathtaking acoustics that create a surround sound singing experience unique to this intimate, yet grand, Christmas musical event.
The concert will be rounded out with the world premieres of two new arrangements, breathing new life and dimension into some of the most performed Christmas carols in churches and concert halls around the world, including Joy to the World and Angels We Have Heard On High, which reimagines the French carol into a symphonic Irish jig.
