Home for Christmas. Francesca Swann invites you to one of Newfoundland's historic homes for the warmth and good cheer of a Christmas house party in St. John's. This is the home of Cantus Vocum's Choirs Director, Chad Stride. In between canapes and mulled wine, you'll hear Cantus Vocum having fun with seasonal favourites. For those not wishing to sit through the whole of Handel's masterpiece, tune in for "The 3 Minute Messiah"! Also on the programme, "My Favourite Things" and a shiny new Stephen Hatfield song "Heaven to Earth". Add local accordionist, Stan Pickett and Andrew Lang on mandocello with traditional and Christmas tunes and top off with a few of the stories and narratives unique to this part of the world and you're all set for a splendid night!
