A sparkling collection of carols and winter songs
Whether creating new songs with 17th-century lyrics, reinterpreting familiar carol melodies, or writing new winter-inspired songs, James Hill and Anne Janelle are building bridges between new and old. How do we reconcile ancient traditions with modern life? How do we honour the expression of yesterday while telling the stories of today? James and Anne's new winter-holiday album, The Midnight Clear, has one foot in the past and the other in the present. It's music that does what music does best: binding us to our traditions while guiding us ever-onward.
Join James and Anne for an evening of re-imagined carols and original winter songs. The duo's award-winning blend of voices, percussion, ukulele and cello makes “the perfect evening of tunes, stories and musical virtuosity” (Wellington Dominion-Post).
This concert is part of a nationwide tour to celebrate the release of The Midnight Clear. For this performance, James and Anne will be joined by the lush sounds of a string quartet of familiar Kootenay faces, including Jeff Faragher and Martine denBok.
