A Holiday Celebration for the preservation and maintenance of the historic Pipe Organ at Canadian Memorial United Church.

This December, be transported into a world of festive joy with “The Gift of Music – A Classic Christmas,” a heartwarming and uplifting Christmas Concert featuring the grandeur of pipe organ and brass.

Historic Canadian Memorial United Church heralds the beginning of the festive season with timeless Christmas melodies and holiday favourites. The concert is showcasing the talents of accomplished Canadian Memorial organist Bruce McKenzie, alongside the vibrant and dynamic Lions Gate Brass Quintet, and the Canadian Memorial Music Team under the direction of Jay Esplana. The program is brimming with Christmas music you love—stirring organ pieces, radiant brass arrangements, and joyful carol sing-alongs.

Adding a nostalgic touch, the Canadian Memorial United Church Players present a live performance of the beloved short Christmas radio play, “The Gift of the Magi.”

All proceeds directly support the Organ Fund, ensuring the preservation and care of Canadian Memorial’s 96 year old Casavant Pipe Organ – a community treasure.

Don’t miss this chance to be part of a spectacular event filled with music, tradition, and community, while helping preserve one of Vancouver’s most cherished musical instruments.
