"The Magic of Christmas" Jazz and Choral Concerts

Peggy Farrell and Friends are shaking a little spice onto Buffalo’s musical season with their upcoming jazz performance at St. Paul’s Episcopal Cathedral. The jazz ensemble, featuring Michael T. Jones on the piano, Paul Laducca on bass, and John Bacon Jr. on drums, is sure to give holiday music tastes some much-needed variety. Also featured at this concert is renowned organist and choirmaster Drew Cantrill, who leads his highly praised Buffalo boys’ choir through a program of holiday favorites to kick off a weekend full of song (see more at musicatstpauls.org). Hailing from England, Cantrill has performed in cathedrals across the globe, delivering brilliant performances and making a name for himself on the international music scene. With a previous choir, Cantrill had the honor of performing for the Queen of England and also contributed to Howard Shore’s film score for The Lord of the Rings. Together, Farrell and Cantrill’s mixture of jazz and choral music should make for an unforgettable holiday event.

Wednesday, December 21 at 7:30pm. St. Paul’s Cathedral, 128 Pearl St. (855-0900) $5-$20
