Overview

Five-time Grammy award winner Paul Halley and the University of King's College Chapel Choir will return to Lunenburg this December with their 12th annual feast of seasonal song and story.
Described by the Chronicle Herald as “annual magic”, A King’s Christmas is a celebration that brings audience and performers fully into the profound beauty and poignancy of Christmas.  It has become a holiday tradition for many hundreds of people in Nova Scotia, with annual sold-out performances in Lunenburg and Halifax.  
The music and the readings change each year, but always feature carols from the mediaeval to the modern, and readings from Maritime authors among others, including poetry, excerpts from novels, short stories, and other literary works.
