This winter, we’re not able to gather in person, but we can still revel in luminous music for long dark nights with this year’s edition of Music for the Winter Solstice.
Since launching in 2014, Music for the Winter Solstice has become a tradition that is anything but traditional. For 2020, Music on Main has gathered favourite moments and never-seen-before footage from past years, and filmed a brand-new performance from vocalists Corey Payette and Julie McIsaac with pianist Rachel Kiyo Iwaasa.
Hosted by Music on Main’s artistic director David Pay, this year’s pandemic-proof video edition of Music for the Winter Solstice also includes performances by Caroline Shaw, Steve Maddock, Gabriel Kahane, Veda Hille, Carman J. Price, Karen Gerbrecht, and others performing music to drive away the darkness, and welcome the light.
This holiday special brings together past live performances at Vancouver’s Heritage Hall to create a concert-length video celebrating the Winter Solstice. Featuring gorgeous music and some of Music on Main’s favourite artists, this special video event invites you to join together online and bask in the warmth and light of great music.
Immediately following the December 16 watch party, join a live virtual artist chat where featured artists will answer audience questions. We’ll post a link here.
Don’t miss this chance to listen together.
Following the December 16 premiere, Music for the Winter Solstice will be available online until January 6, 2021. Subscribe to our YouTube channel and follow us on Facebook to stay in-the-know.
