Surrey Civic Theatre's three-show Holiday Series concludes with a concert on Friday, Dec. 13, a night when singers aim to "evoke the peaceful beauty of snow light on a dark winter's day." Vancouver-based vocal ensemble will perform "Music to Shine in Darkest Winter" at Surrey City Hall's intimate Centre Stage theatre starting at 8 p.
m. "Let the warm, bright light of choral music carry you through the holiday season and into the New Year," says a post on , where tickets are sold for $35, or $42 for seats closer to the stage. (a concert title defined as "care or concern for someone or something") will feature the voices of musica intima alongside Lil'wat Nation composer/singer Russell Wallace.
The performance will explore "what winter means to Russell through his Indigenous musical traditions and perspectives." Rounding out the holiday collaboration will be "music that reflects the season from musica intima’s own and different cultural traditions." Pre-concert, ticketholders can enjoy free hot chocolate and hear the sounds of Celtic harpist in the lobby.
Outside are photo-ops with the 60-foot tree at Surrey Civic Plaza, where the 2024 Surrey Tree Lighting Festival was held Nov. 23-24. Founded in 1992, musica intima brings its concerts to venues in Surrey, Vancouver and Sechelt on different dates in December.
On , the ensemble's biography says the singers aim to "connect, inspire, and profoundly move people through intimate and collaborative vocal experiences." The ensemble is.
