Capella Regalis Christmas Concert

Christ Church is very pleased to announce that Capella Regalis Men & Boys Choir will perform a Christmas concert on Friday, December 21st, at 7pm. Tickets cost $10 and may be purchased at the door or in advance at Windsor Home Hardware.

Capella Regalis Christmas Concert

Capella Regalis Men and Boys Choir, directed by Nick Halley, celebrates its third annual To Bethlehem With Kings concert with three Christmas performances, in Windsor, Lunenburg, and Halifax.  A traditional and heart-warming evening of beautiful carols for Christmas, ancient and modern, performed by a choir of 12 boys (ages 7-14) and 12 men.  The concert will also include hymns for audience participation, Paul Halley playing pipe organ, and the Maritime Brass Quintet joining the ensemble for the final, Halifax performance.

Capella Regalis Men and Boys Choir was founded in Halifax by Director Nick Halley in 2010 and is modeled on the great Anglican tradition of men and boys church choirs.  While Canada was once rich with such choirs, Capella Regalis is one of only a handful of men and boys choirs in Canada today.  It aims to help rejuvenate the tradition in Canada.  The choir sings Choral Evensong every Tuesday of the academic term at 5:00 p.m. in the University of King’s College Chapel, 6350 Coburg Road, Halifax.  The choir also performs concerts around Nova Scotia throughout its September – June season.  Please visit www.capellaregalis.com for more information.
