Save the date and buy your tickets now: Elektra Women's Choir is ushering in the Christmas season in New Westminster with its annual Chez Nous concert.
Chez Nous: Christmas with Elektra is set for Saturday, Nov. 30 at 2 p.m. at Queens Avenue United Church.
The concert features Benjamin Britten's A Ceremony of Carols, marking the centenary of the composer's birth. The piece includes 11 short movements using English poems from the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries, and the choir will perform it with Vancouver harpist Heidi Krutzen.
"Our audience always comes away from Chez Nous having heard some Christmas melodies that bring back memories, but also having had some surprises," said the choir's artistic director, Morna Edmundson, in a press release. "And what a treat to welcome again Heidi Krutzen for A Ceremony of Carols."
Edmundson and accompanist Stephen Smith are also welcoming the Little Flower Academy Chamber Choir, under the direction of Marizza Mislang, for the concert.
Tickets for Chez Nous: Christmas with Elektra are $28 regular, $22 for seniors and $15 for students with valid ID. Buy at ticketstonight.ca.
The concert also takes place in Vancouver, at Ryerson United Church, at 7 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 29.
