"There is a very cool event coming this week within our arts and cultural community. It’s actually an online event so that means it is going to be available all over Manitoba - no, wait - all over Canada, or maybe we mean all over the world."
Community choir Christmas Eve concert going online thereminder.ca - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from thereminder.ca Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
“We had a lot of help from a lot of different people.” Musicians including Jacob Harvie, Mark Kolt, Kim Jones, Lane Laderoute and others will each chip in some Christmas tunes, along with a Christmas carol sing-along. The performance will also include some notable readings - including one from Manitoba Lieutenant Governor Janice Filmon. Initially, the plan for this year’s choir Christmas show was to hold it at the R.H. Channing Auditorium to an empty room, streaming the show online from there. When new COVID-19 restrictions and gathering limits disallowed that from happening, organizers took the show fully remote.
