Vancouver Cantata Singers’ Christmas Reprise at Holy Rosary Cathedral

Amid all the choral events filling our hallowed halls this season, Vancouver Cantata Singers’ Christmas Reprise is one of the most enticing options. First of all, there’s the programming: you get it all here, folks, from your tried-and-true “Joy to the World” to the more haunting strains of Arvo Pärt’s Bogoroditse Devo to the Singers’ traditional, showstopping finale, Ave Maria. Then you’ve got location: Holy Rosary Cathedral could not offer a more convenient oasis to the mall-feet-afflicted. And then you’ve got the price: at 18 bucks, this won’t add too much to those Christmas bills. The ever-popular show takes place Saturday (December 17) at 2 p.m.
