Cantores Celestes Women's Choir, Kelly Galbraith and Cairdeas present Christmas British Isle music with a twist.

Cantores Celestes Women's Choir and Kelly Galbraith, fresh from their thrilling down East Canadian tour, and Cairdeas (Irish music with a twist lead by Steafan Hannigan) present Out of the Mist, Above the Reel - an evening of seasonal music in the Celtic tradition. Cairdeas will lead us in the folk-based music from the British Isles. Steafan Hannigan has performed in over twenty countries and he has recorded on over eighty albums. The instruments will be as diverse as the Uilleann pipes, Whistles, Guitars, violin, cello and exotic percussion sounds.

Pianist Ellen Meyer and harpist Jacqueline Goring join Cantores Celestes in Christmas classics like 'A Ceremony of Carols' by Benjamin Britten; 'Dancing Day' by John Rutter and 'Over the Hills' by Canadian, Stephen Hatfield.

Continuing our tradition of supporting local charities, we have chosen to contribute $1,000 to Women's College Hospital Sexual Assault & Domestic Violence Care Centre on this 19th Anniversary of the Montreal massacre. The Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence Care Centre provides emergency care and counselling to victims of sexual assault and domestic violence. Its comprehensive service is designed to assist women and men who are victims of sexual assault and partner abuse.

Join us for a truly remarkable musical experience. Celebrate the joy of music and the power of giving!
