Canto Deo inaugurates its 2017-2018 season with their lovely Advent Service of Lessons and Carols. Drawn from choral traditions world-wide, this contemplative service brings the listener close to the heart of the Advent message. Come and be blessed by the rich choral gifts of composers old and new. Featuring A Spotless Rose by Paul Mealor, with its lush harmonies; the driving and vibrant Gabriel’s Message by Jonathan Rathbone; or the serene peace found in Will Todd’s tender The Call of Wisdom. The Canto Deo Chamber Choir will also offer annual traditions, such as Come Thou, Redeemer by Sir David Willcocks and the moving E’en So, Lord Jesus, Quickly Come by Paul Manz. Come and let your mind and spirit be renewed!
