American Boychoir is set to present two holiday performances with the internationally acclaimed Canadian Brass.
The two ensembles will join forces and perform traditional carols and holiday favorites.
Boychoir’s annual Voices of Angels concert is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Dec. 14 at Princeton University’s chapel. Voices of Angels is a time-honored readings and carols concert with boys in traditional vestments.
Home for the Holidays is scheduled for 4 p.m. Dec. 15 at the university’s Richardson Auditorium. The program features a family-friendly carol sing-along and grand performance of choir, brass, and organ.
Earning the distinction of “the world’s most famous brass group,” Canadian Brass has garnered a successful and storied career after over 40 years of making music.
Formed in 1970 by friends Chuck Daellenbach and Gene Watts, the group is made up of five brass musicians: Daellenbach, Achilles Llarmakopoulos, Chris Coletti, Caleb Hudson and Eric Reed. The mission of the group is to bring the sound and the excitement of brass music to new audiences through standards as well as original arrangements.
Canadian Brass is especially noted for their famous Holiday Concerts at Christmastime and has sold more than two million albums worldwide.
American Boychoir is made up of boys in fourth through eighth grade from across the county. The boys pursue a musical and academic curriculum at the American Boychoir School in Princeton.
Tickets for both range from $20 to $45 and are available from the Princeton University ticketing office at princeton.edu/utickets/ or by calling (609) 258-9220.
