The Night Before the Night Before Christmas (2023)

Capriccio Vocal Ensemble presents a Christmas Concert for the Whole Family, with special guests Festive Brass.

We are thrilled to once again share in the cherished musical traditions of Christmas alongside our esteemed musical guests and dear friends, Festive Brass! Join us for a delightful experience as we revel in the exuberant presentation of Vince Guaraldi’s timeless masterpiece, “A Charlie Brown Christmas.”

Artistic Director Dr. Adam Con brings a wealth of experience and a deep passion for choral music. He is Professor of Music at the University of Victoria, and his dedication to fostering a supportive and inclusive environment empowers our choristers to grow as musicians and artists.

Adam was born and raised on the ancestral lands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations, in the city of Vancouver, British Columbia. As a fourth-generation descendent of the Chinese Diaspora in Canada, he is grateful for the opportunity to embrace his culturally rich and spiritually significant lineage while residing and working as a guest on the beautiful traditional lands of the ləkʷ̓ əŋən peoples in Victoria, British Columbia.
