Celebrate the holiday season with Loreena McKennitt’s Under A Winter’s Moon, a captivating live performance of carols and tales that blends Celtic, Indigenous, and Welsh cultures. 

Join the Juno Award-winning Canadian artist and her musical companions as they transport you to a world of music and spoken word that connects us with our past and the spirit of the season. Hear 15 seasonal songs, including “Coventry Carol,” “Good King Wenceslas,” and the “Huron Carol,” as well as a performance of Dylan Thomas’s nostalgic A Child’s Christmas in Wales by Gemini Award-winning actor Cedric Smith, interspersed with more songs from McKennitt.
