Calgary Civic Symphony presents Christmas at the Movies
Calgary, AB - Calgary Civic Symphony presents joyous "Christmas at the Movies" concert on Sunday, December 19, 2010 at 2:30 PM at Jack Singer Concert Hall (205 - 8th Avenue SE, Calgary). The orchestra will perform under the baton of music director Rolf Bertsch.
The orchestra performs Christmas at the Movies, an impressive concert medley for orchestra presenting music from five classic holiday films, including some of the most memorable songs and themes from Home Alone, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, Miracle on 34th Street, The Polar Express, and The Nightmare Before Christmas - treats for the whole family!
The programme includes the suite from Serge Prokofiev's 1934 film score for Lieutenant Kijé and excerpts from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite as they appeared in Disney's 1940 classic cinematic and musical masterpiece, Fantasia. The orchestra also performs music from John William's great score for Harry Potter & The Philosopher's Stone.
Tenor Jorge Avilés joins the orchestra to sing great Christmas songs from such films as Holiday Inn and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and to lead the traditional carol sing-along. An audience favourite, this Argentinean tenor made Canada his home some 30 years ago after having studied voice and oratorio with the International Bach Society in his native city of Buenos Aires. Jorge Avilés appears as soloist with Canadian orchestras and recently toured Poland & the Czech Republic, singing the tenor solo in Mozart's "Sparrow" Mass in C and coaching the tenor section of the choir.
