The generous staff and volunteers of Holy Trinity TO will be on site to share resources on their work and collect the donations. The Holy Trinity strives to work with others in the community to uproot the systemic injustice which entraps the weakest members of our society. \nTickets \nThis concert is made possible by a generous gift from an anonymous donor. \n\n\n

SUMMARY:Festival of Carols
DESCRIPTION:In This Performance\nTraditional Christmas Carols and works by Felix Mendelssohn\, Jonathan Dove\, Morten Lauridsen and many more!\nHeartbeat by Shireen Abu-Khader – a TMC commission \nOn the music\nCelebrate this holiday season with Toronto’s beloved tradition — Toronto Mendelssohn Choir’s annual celebration of music: Festival of Carols. This year\, the TMChoir is bringing back the much-anticipated sing-along portion of the concert with pieces such as Joy to the World\, Silent Night\, and O Come All Ye Faithful. Under the direction of Maestro Jean-Sébastien Vallée\, both the TMChoir and TMSingers bring this program to life\, and are joined by guest artist Isabelle Demers on the organ. \nThis year’s program also features a brand-new commission from composer-in-residence Dr. Shireen Abu-Khader: Heartbeat. She writes\, “The starting point for composing this carol stemmed from asking the question\, “Why do all beautiful Christmas carols\, that the world knows\, not match the soundscape of the actual birth of Christ – Bethlehem?” The piece itself uses Byzantine chant and Greek melodies familiar to the composer\, along with newly composed melodies focussing on the welcoming of children and the emotions of motherhood. \n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:The Pilgrim’s Way
DESCRIPTION:In This Performance\nSteal Away arr. by Diedre Robinson\nI Forgive by Shireen Abu-Khader\nLux Aeterna by Edward Elgar arr. by John Cameron \nPath of Miracles by Joby Talbot \nOn the music\nCentred on Joby Talbot’s Path of Miracles\, this concert explores the narrative of displacement\, identity\, and individual life’s journeys. Talbot’s masterwork for a cappella voices is a musical pilgrimage describing a journey on the Camino de Santiago. Through its four contrasting movements based on the main posts of the Camino (Roncesvalles\, Burgos\, León\, and Santiago) the music leads the listener on a unique reflective experience. Complemented by the work I Forgive by composer-in-residence Shireen Abu Khader\, which tells the powerful story of Egyptian writer and activist Sarah Hejazi\, this concert is a powerful celebration of the multiple journeys and identities that make up our communities. \n\n\n
