Every year, the holiday season gets a kick start from Yuletide Cheer with the Peterborough Singers and guest musicians, Venabrass. Every year, the warmth and joy of the coming holiday season is captured in new and familiar choral music. Every year, listeners are thrilled and amazed by the power and prowess of brass instruments and the mighty Casavant organ. Every year, the audience joins their voices together with the choir for a communal experience that just can’t be found in many places these days. Peterborough Singers hopes you will start or continue coming every year, THIS year!

Special Guests: Venabrass

Venabrass is a brass ensemble from Toronto, Ontario. Formed primarily from the Venables family, this brass group displays ensemble virtuosity at its finest. As individuals, members of the Venabrass have travelled around the world as both soloists, conductors and composer both as freelance, professional and through The Salvation Army. The early days of the group was merely family members playing music together. This grew into touring at Christmas time, performing annual concerts, recording, and travelling to Africa. Venabrass now exists beyond just the Venables name with other high caliber musicians included. However, it still maintains its Salvation Army musicianship, to which, they desire to serve God first and foremost through their music and strive towards the highest degree of music excellence in that service.
