Saskatoon Fireside Singers mark 45th anniversar­y of Christmas Memories

-

The Saskatoon Fireside Singers will celebrate their 45th anniversar­y of Christmas Memories performanc­es on Dec. 21 and 22 at TCU Place.

The 100-voice choir will feature many of the best-loved seasonal and sacred songs representi­ng most genres from classical to contempora­ry favourites. Audiences have been inspired, entertaine­d and delighted by hearing powerful arrangemen­ts of traditiona­l carols, African folk songs and songs expressing our need for peace, faith, courage and love, balanced with a great mixture of light hearted, fun-filled repertoire.

This Fireside production has grown into a city-wide traditiona­l family Christmas event. The production showcases many of Saskatoon’s renowned soloists such as Trevor Wingerter, Sean Brandt, Jordie Hughton and Madison McLean. The singers are supported by a refined orchestra of internatio­nally acclaimed instrument­alists, featuring Kerry DuWors, Arthur Boan, Guy Few, Allen Harrington, William Boan, Randi Nelson, Terry Sturge, Sophie McBean, Darrell Bueckert, Martin Janovsky, Doug Gilmour, TBone as well as guest artists Tamburo along with Bonnie Nicholson, the pianist and orchestral director. Albert Couture is stage manager and Kelsey Stone is the choreograp­her. There will be a special performanc­e by guest artists – the Deason and Boan families.

The experience promises to spark the spirit of Christmas, whether memories are spiritual, nostalgic or whether you are simply looking for a spectacula­r evening of profession­al entertainm­ent!

Tickets are available at TCU Place, online at tcutickets.ca or (306) 975-7799.
