Comfort and Joy: A Newfoundland and Labrador Christmas

Venue:  Anglican Cathedral

 

This Christmas, Lady Cove is keeping it close to home. Comfort and Joy celebrates the songs and stories that make Christmas in Newfoundland and Labrador what it is,  music that feels like family, community, joy, and belonging!

Every piece in this concert comes from here, arranged just for Lady Cove by our incredible collaborative pianist and resident composer, Leslee Heys. 

You’ll hear familiar tunes and a few surprises, all wrapped in the sound of women’s voices celebrating the place we call home.

We’re sharing the stage with the iconic duo - Jim Payne and Fergus O’Byrne, two artists who’ve helped shape the sound of Newfoundland music for decades. Together, we’ll bring a mix of folk and choral traditions.

This concert also launches Little Heart’s Ease, a new way to welcome young singers into what we do. During the first half of the show, Juno-nominated choral educator Robert Colbourne will teach kids (ages 6–13) choruses of two Christmas songs , and then after the intermission they’ll join Lady Cove and Jim and Fergus on stage to perform! 

Comfort and Joy is a night to slow down, sing along in spirit, and share in the music that makes our home such a special place to be at Christmas. Join us at the Cathedral for an unforgettable evening!
