The Victoria Bach Festival, Victoria College and Victoria Civic Chorus invite the community to welcome the holiday season with Illuminations: Voices of the Season, an afternoon of beautiful choral music filled with soaring harmonies, beloved seasonal works and the warmth and wonder of the holidays. The concert begins at 3 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 6, at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church and tickets are $25 for individuals and $5 for students. They can be purchased in advance at VictoriaBachFestival.org.
Led by Victoria College Choir and Victoria Civic Chorus Director Marilyn Shannon, the concert will bring together the voices of the Victoria Civic Chorus, musicians from the Victoria Bach Festival and the Victoria College community for a special celebration of the season.
The program will explore a range of musical styles, from beloved hymns and carols to works by composers as diverse as Dolly Parton and Mozart. Victoria Bach Festival musicians will join the chorus for a luminous afternoon celebrating the richness and tradition of choral music.
“For me, the holidays are about connection, and music has a wonderful way of bringing people together,” said John Griffin, Victoria Bach Festival board member. “We hope people will come and simply enjoy an afternoon of beautiful music with family and friends. It’s a chance to slow down, listen and experience some of the joy that makes this time of year special, as well as listen to many local talented musicians.”
The collaboration also highlights the depth of Victoria’s arts community and the organizations working together to bring live music to local audiences.
“Illuminations is a wonderful example of what can happen when our local arts organizations come together,” said Simon McCloud, president of the Victoria Bach Festival board. “We’re bringing together talented musicians and singers for a program that celebrates the season and the community we’re fortunate to call home.”
From familiar carols and hymns to sparkling choral works, Illuminations promises an afternoon filled with music, warmth and the wonder of the holiday season.
