Music on Main’s Music for the Winter Solstice is back this year at Heritage Hall with two performances only, on December 14 and 15. It’s a concert that is sure to warm your heart and soul.
This not-to-be-missed holiday event features four extraordinary artists whose music-making will spark joy and warmth that last long after the final notes: Rachel Kiyo Iwaasa (piano) Robyn Jacob (vocals & keyboard), Asitha Tennekoon (tenor), and Jonathan Lo (cello).
With seasonal favourites such as Caroline Shaw’s “Winter Carol” and the Wyrd Sisters’ “Solstice Carole”, Music for the Winter Solstice is known to “reliably mix secular warmth with the sacredness of really beautiful sounds” (Stir Vancouver).
Intimate, warm, and welcoming, this annual tradition makes for the perfect holiday gift for someone special, or for a wonderful night spent basking in the candlelit glow and great music. Featured music includes art-pop songs from Only a Visitor’s Robyn Jacob, gorgeous melodies from J.S. Bach for solo cello, and Alfredo Santa Ana’s mesmerizing “A Short Song for the Longest Night of the Year”.
This popular holiday event at Main Street’s intimate Heritage Hall sells out every year: book your tickets ahead to secure your seats.
Limited tickets ($49; or $18 for students and arts workers) are on sale now at musiconmain.ca.
