Winter Solstice Music 10th Anniversary Tour

Winter Solstice Music 10th Anniversary Tour

The Winter Solstice Music Tour marks its 10th anniversary this year, bringing warmth, harmony, and connection to Vancouver Island communities. Since 2010, vocalist and artistic director Cari Burdett has gathered musicians and audiences to celebrate the turning of the season — a time to pause, reflect, and welcome the return of the light.

This year’s milestone tour offers ten opportunities to experience the concert, including eight in-person shows across six Island locations and two online performances on December 21, the solstice proper.

Featuring Adrian Dolan, Quin Etheridge Redden, Scott White, Adam Dobres, Cari Burdett, and Maeve Iredale, the concerts blend voices, strings, and storytelling into a moving evening of music that warms the spirit. The tour visits Sooke (Dec 10), Salt Spring (Dec 11), Chemainus (Dec 12), Ladysmith (Dec 14), Duncan (Dec 20 – matinee and evening), and Victoria (Dec 21 – matinee and evening), with both Victoria shows streaming online.

Five percent of proceeds will be donated to Mischa Lelum, the new Cowichan Valley Youth Emergency Shelter supporting local youth aged 15–18 in crisis. Audience members may also add direct contributions when purchasing tickets.

Audience responses speak to the event’s magic: “I look forward to this concert every season — it’s the highlight of my year.” Another shared, “The feeling in the room was solstice medicine.”

Special thanks to our generous sponsors, whose support brings this celebration to life.
