The CCOC heralds this year's holiday season with a joyous mix of traditional and contemporary music highlighting selections from the Chorus' library of commissioned works. Canadian tenor Benjamin Butterfield will share the spotlight with the children to sing Holman's enchanting Christmas Triptych. The audience will be invited to join the chorus in a sing-along of favourite carols at the close of each concert. The Canterville Ghost One of Wilde's finest short stories, The Canterville Ghost is his humourous and touching story that will appeal to the entire family. It takes place in a very British mansion, with a very gloomy housekeeper and a very wicked ghost who has gleefully caused death and mayhem for hundreds of years- that is until an American family arrives, with their very irreverent children.
