The annual Songs Strings and Steps Christmas concert takes place at Central Heights Church in Abbotsford on December 6th and 7th directed by violinist Calvin Dyck.
The popular show will feature Tenor Ken Lavigne and include several carols from Ken’s album “Comfort and Joy” with arrangements by Roy Tan including: In the Bleak Midwinter, God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen, Upon a Midnight Clear and Away in a Manger. Another highlight will be the Victoria based “Festive Brass Ensemble” with some exquisite arrangements for Brass Quintet including Lo, How a Rose and the Huron Carol.
The Abbotsford Youth Orchestra Senior division strings will entertain you with the Barrage arrangement of Jingle Bells with choreography by Sylvia Friesen, and there will be several “surprises” for the audience. In addition, the orchestra will present “Winter” from Vivaldi’s Four Seasons, and the Corelli Christmas Concerto. As has become tradition, the concert will end with Mel Bowker’s epic arrangement of O Holy Night featuring Calvin Dyck as violin soloist.
