We Just Wanna Have Some Fun, Down At The Rock And Roll Club

As Mother Nature transforms our lovely city into a winter wonderland, you can either piss and moan about the snow and cold, or embrace the beauty of a Quebec winter and enjoy all that it has to offer. Go tobogganing on Mont-Royal, have a hot mug of cocoa with a dash of something stronger, build a snowman, but most important of all, join all your fellow music lovers inside any number of cozy bars all over town and enjoy some live music. Here are a few options Prince Palu thought you might like.

Concerto Della Donna is a Montreal-based choir of female voices that has graced the world with its beautiful performances for over a decade. Tune in to The F Hole on Monday, December 15th at noon to hear special guests Marie-Claire Saindon, Amena Ahmad, and Katherine Black talk about their experiences in this choir, the history of it, and why the group has unfortunately disbanded. We'll also discuss the director, Iwan Edwards, and his career, as well as the documentary that the group recently produced. Join us in honouring this outstanding group of singers and one of Canada's finest choral directors as we listen to their stories and to their music.
