Overview

Christmas is back!  After a three-year hiatus,  Grammy Award-winner Paul Halley will showcase his signature choir, The Choir of All Saints Cathedral, in a live concert performance celebrating Christmas. The Lunenburg concert, presented by Musique Royale, takes place on Saturday December 10th at 4 pm at historic St John’s Anglican Church (64 Townsend St). The following afternoon, the choir will perform the concert at All Saints Cathedral in Halifax at 4 pm.

Entitled ‘A ROSE IN WINTER’, this concert of song and story is a continuation of the Christmas concert tradition at the Cathedral in Halifax that Halley established in 2008. The Cathedral Choir and Paul Halley will be joined by guest, Old Man Luedecke, in a reprise of his 2019 appearance in the genial role of narrator - to read and recite, to sing, and to, no doubt, play the banjo. A two-time Juno Award-winning Canadian singer-songwriter, Old Man Luedecke delivers narrative-driven folk songs with a storyteller's heart. About the choir, Paul Halley remarks, “This is a spectacular group of young musicians. The vibrancy and fullness of sound and high level of musical accomplishment make this the best choir I’ve worked with.” 

Details

The annual Christmas concert series which Paul Halley initiated in his second year in Halifax is a celebration that brings audience and performers fully into the profound beauty and poignancy of Christmas.  This concert, always with a choir under Halley’s direction, has become a holiday tradition in Nova Scotia and was described by The Chronicle Herald as “annual magic”. 

Programming this unique concert format of carols and readings is a creative collaboration between the guest narrator, director Paul Halley, and the choir. While the selection of readings and music may change from one year to the next (and Paul Halley always likes to keep things ‘new’), the themes in both song and story relate to each other in lovely and subtle or humorous and entertaining ways. This year’s concert bears a new title: ‘A ROSE IN WINTER’ which refers to a line from the 12th cent. poetry of Hildegard von Bingen and evokes the ethereal quality of unexpected beauty in a winter landscape.
