How popular are Chor Leoni’s annual Christmas concerts? Well, word is that you won’t be able to hear the choral lions in West Vancouver: their Sunday (December 18) show is sold out. Despair not, however.

The immaculately skilled men’s choir still has four downtown performances on the market, with afternoon and evening servings at St. Andrew’s–Wesley United Church on Friday and Saturday (December 16 and 17).

Amid the offerings, look for exquisite pieces by composers with close ties to the choir, including Terre Roche’s “Star of Wonder” and Eriks Ešenvalds’s “Stars”.

Comfort, joy, familiar favourites, new creations, and dark-chocolate harmonies will be plentiful—but act now, before the inevitable last-minute holiday rush.
