This season’s annual Thunder Bay Symphony Orchestra’s Holiday Pops concert, on Friday December 12 at 7pm, welcomes mezzo-soprano Melissa Davis, Thunder Bay actor Robert Perrier, and talented community groups – Experience Dance, Rafiki Youth Choir, St. Paul’s United Church Handbell Choir, and the Stringlings – to the Thunder Bay Community Auditorium stage for fun-filled collaborations, carols, holiday favourites, Baroque masters, Gospel selections, and the Trans-Siberian Orchestra.
The evening will also feature the world premiere of a new choral composition, People Look East, by William Beckstrand commemorating the TBS Chorus’ 40th anniversary. Beckstrand’s People Look East is a bright work in the holiday spirit based on a traditional French carol and features a collaboration with the splendid sounds of the St. Paul’s United Church Handbell Choir. Plus, the TBSC’s founder Dwight Bennett returns to Thunder Bay for a special guest appearance.
Oh, and we’re expecting a visit from a certain holiday VIP! It’s a jam packed holiday show not to be missed!
