One of many great parts of the Christmas season is the pleasant sounds that emanate from our neighbourhood church buildings. We name it “a joyful noise”, and that’s exactly the sound that Hope Lutheran Church dropped at “the hood” with its 27th annual Christmas live performance.
Talking to patrons that occupied each pew, Pastor Mark Henrich, heaped reward on the work and generosity of Hope members with out whom the annual celebration couldn’t be staged.
Pauline Soman, musical director of a church the place “the phrase” and music are inseparable, proudly spoke of the live performance’s humble beginnings as merely “cantatas’ on the church’s Scarborough North location earlier than beginning a run of 27 full-fledged concert events at their present location.
Soman, a musician and arranger of the primary order, and her workforce have created a choir that produces great, heartwarming Christmas classics, accompanied by a advantageous piano, trumpet, clarinet and organ. This heavenly chorale is adopted by stirring renditions of the very best beloved carols by the Hope Lutheran Metal Orchestra.
Final weekend, the spirit of Christmas soared with heavenly voices and the unmistakable Caribbean sound of steelpans. The 2-hour live performance went in a flash. The patrons might have taken much more. Such was the sweetness of a night that at all times appear to finish too quickly.
