Hosted by emcee Marcia Hamm, the concert features a swinging jazz trio (Dean Pierno, Josh McHan), the soulful sounds of the Studio B Saxophone Quartet, and the bright voices of local youth choir, Vocal Motion.This year, we’re serving up some of our favourite holiday classics with a jazzy twist, including:
🎶 We Need a Little Christmas (from Mame)
🎶 Angels We Have Heard — with a little 5/4 twist
🎶 We Three Kings – reimagined as a jazz waltz
🎶 Go Tell It on the Mountain – a powerful gospel arrangement
🎶 Holiday Film Festival – a medley from The Polar Express, The Grinch, and Home Alone
…plus more sparkling selections to warm your heart and lift your spirits.

Christmas in the City is our gift to Edmonton — and you can help make it shine! Donate through our Crowdfunding Alberta campaign to support the musicians and keep this beloved concert free for all.

The Alberta Government will match 50% of all donations up to $5,000 — so your gift goes even further in helping us bring the magic of live music to everyone this holiday season.
