Burnaby residents can bask in the sounds of the season next weekend.
The New Westminster-based Amabilis Singers are joining forces with the Shaughnessy Heights United Church Sanctuary Choir for O Nata Lux, a concert of Christmas music.
The choirs are directed by Burnaby's Ramona Luengen. They will be joined by pianist Ingrid Verseveldt and organist Roy Campbell for a program that includes music by Abbie Bettinis, Carl Rütti, Bob Chilcott, Arthur Honegger, Guy Forbes and more.
Each choir will perform on its own, and the two will also join forces to create a 90-voice ensemble that will lift the roof with seasonal sound.
"Join us for beautiful music, favourite carols and boisterous sing-alongs as we share together the spirit that is Christmas," a press release says.
The concert is on Saturday, Dec. 13 at 2 p.m. at New Westminster Christian Reformed Church, 8255 13th Ave. (between First and Newcombe streets) in Burnaby.
It then runs again Sunday, Dec. 14 at 7:30 p.m. at Shaughnessy Heights United Church, 1550 West 33rd Ave. in Vancouver.
Tickets are $20, or free for children under 11.
Buy through choir members, at the door or by calling 604-503-2074.
