Review

It may not be beginning to look a lot like Christmas, but choral ensemble Canzona decided to get the snowball rolling. Their performance with the University of Manitoba Singers and MusikBarock Ensemble Sunday night of J.S. Bach's glorious Christmas Oratorio was a sure-fire way to usher in the holiday season... Opening with a briskly paced Jauchzet, frohlocket, the choir exuded joy and energy, enunciating every word with care. Trumpets soared and we held on for the ride... Chorus work was excellent, with great attention to dynamics and attack thanks to the choir's alertness to Engbrecht's precise direction...
