CORE Celebration’s Christmas Concert is Sunday evening, December 16, 2018 at 7pm. To complete 2018, this will be a beautiful evening of Christmas carol singing, traditional Christmas music with selections from Handel’s Messiah by choir and orchestra, featuring Encore! Youth Singers of Calgary and guest soloist Lauren Woods. Mark your calendars and tell your friends. Lauren Woods has performed in operas, oratorios and concerts from coast to coast. Lauren was a finalist in the Wirth Vocal Competition in Montreal, and was one of six Canadians invited to the International Belvedere competition in Amsterdam. She completed a Master’s in Voice at McGill under the tutelage of Aline Kutan and a bachelor’s degree in Opera at UBC. Lauren was thrilled to return home as one of Calgary Opera’s Emerging artists for the 2016-2017 season.
