TRU Chorus fall concert

The city’s first snow has fallen, and the TRU Chorus is hoping to help people get into the holiday spirit with a winter-themed fall production.

Entitled “L’hiver Francais – music of winter from early France,” the TRU Chorus’s fall concert offers an evening of French music from the Renaissance and Baroque eras.

The feature piece is the “Messe de Minuit pour Noel” (Midnight Mass for Christmas) by Marc-Antoine Charpentier, a French composer from the Baroque era.

Special guests “The Early Music Band,” a small ensemble of period instruments including the lute and recorders, will accompany the Chorus and perform instrumental selections.

The Chorus will present L’hiver Francais on Saturday, November 26th at 7:00 pm at St. Andrew’s Church, located at 6th and Douglas.

Tickets are $10, available at the Kamloops Museum, from members or at the door.
