Listen to the 2015 CBC Christmas Sing-In and get into the spirit of the season — with festive music and all your favourite carols, in spectacular arrangements for choir, organ, brass and percussion, and an audience of over 1,500 singing along.
This year's Sing-In features performances by the choir of the Church of St. Andrew and St. Paul, the Sing-In Brass, organist Jonathan Oldengarm, and guest soprano Aviva Fortunata, all under the direction of conductor Jean-Sébastien Vallée.
If you'd like to sing along, you will find the words to all the audience carols printed in the concert program.
