"From our first season Toronto Masque Theatre has taken great joy in celebrating the Christmas season with generous samplings of rich seasonal repertoire. Once again, we have wonderful guest singers and instrumentalists this year to perform a wide range of material with a particular timely emphasis on a plea for peace on earth."
Larry Beckwith, Artistic Director
This year’s salon will have a distinctly Franco-flavour with the performance of French baroque Noëls and the Messe de Minuit by Marc-Antoine Charpentier. We’ll also enjoy a rare performance of excerpts from the cantata The Birth of Christ written in 1901 by the Hamilton-area composer Clarence Lucas.
As a special bonus, our vocal soloists will each sing a Christmas "party piece" of their choosing, though rest assured that Larry offers his personal guarantee that O Holy Night will not be one of them!
The evening will be rounded off with seasonal readings – including from The Journey of the Magi, by T.S. Eliot – seasonal food, a silent auction, all topped off with TMT’s famous Renaissance Punch.
