Ensemble Laude presents Stars

Ensemble Laude, one of BC's leading choirs, presents a magical celestial-themed concert!

At First Metropolitan Church, Victoria.

When polar colours pull our gaze to the night sky, the stars flash their stories of the mystery of creation. Star mother, star child, angel children sing us their truths, the filaments of our light.

Stars takes the listener on a journey through the ages, beginning with the clear tones of medieval Marian music by Hildegard von Bingen, de Chanticleer, and others honouring Maris Stella, the Star of the Sea. We then move to Anung (Star Child) by Cree composer Andrew Balfour, and pieces that tell of the human experience of winter including Northern Lights by Ola Gjeilo, Pakkanen by Soila Sariola, and Aurora by Victoria composer Nicholas Fairbank. Stars ends with the shimmering Snow Angel by beloved Canadian composer Sarah Quartel.

Enchanting, fierce, sweet and strong, let Ensemble Laude sweep you away this holiday season!

Tickets $25/$30 door/$15 student/under 13 free.  Get tickets here: https://www.eventbrite.ca/e/1023069617767?aff=oddtdtcreator
