Concert Review:
Tracy Fehr and company’s concert was a delight
Dear Editor:
An appreciative audience was treated to a thoroughly enjoyable concert, Lo How a Rose, presented by Tracy Fehr and the Seraphim Ensemble at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church Sunday evening.
The selection of Christmas music featured a nice blend of traditional favourites and seasonal music of centuries past. The program was creatively designed to highlight the strengths of all five players, both together in harmonies and individually with Heather Allen’s insightful and entertaining facts on the long-forgotten Christmas rose, Olivia Walsh’s masterful cello solos, Dennis Nordlund as an accompanist extraordinaire, and Colin Cross’s riveting reading of ancient works. Above all, Fehr’s vocal solos, especially her closing signature carol, O Holy Night, were beautiful, leaving the audience spellbound while reminding them of the true meaning of Christmas — a time in which the humble heart receives anew God’s wondrous gift, the Christ child.
This evening of Christmas music marked yet another polished performance by this accomplished group. We are indeed privileged to have them performing regularly as an integral part of the local performing arts community.
