Holiday Performances at the Sanderson Centre for the Performing Arts

Ballet dancers performing in The Nutcracker

The Sanderson Centre for the Performing Arts is excited to offer a number of upcoming holiday performances this December. Ring in the season with this exciting line-up of in-person and virtual events.

The Barra MacNeils - an East Coast Christmas
Wednesday, December 1, 2021 at 7:30 p.m.
The Barra MacNeils - An East Coast Christmas is a musical potpourri of traditional MacNeil family favourites gleaned from Christmas ceilidhs, midnight masses and the general festive frolic that accompanies each holiday season. With their captivating vocals, distinctive harmonies and extraordinary musicianship, The Barra MacNeils inject new life and energy into the sights and sounds of Christmas...one moment a rousing chorus, then a hauntingly beautiful Gaelic ballad, the next a flurry of foot-stomping instrumentals, which of course pulls one then another into a step-dancing revelry.
Purchase tickets to the in-person live event. 

Ballet Jörgen’s The Nutcracker
Sunday, December 5, 2021 at 7 p.m.
The Sanderson Centre presents Ballet Jörgen’s The Nutcracker. Kick off the holiday season with this Canadian classic that’s perfect for the entire family. Audiences are taken on Klara’s magical dream journey of her arrival in Canada experiencing the winter landscapes filled with snowflakes, lumberjacks, Mounties and creatures of the woods. 
Purchase tickets to the in-person live event.
 
Christmas Bells Are Here Again!
Saturday, December 11, 2021 at 7:30 p.m.
Dust off your bells and bring them along to ring in the Christmas season with a sleigh full of your favourite Christmas-time music performed by the Brantford Symphony Orchestra! Attendees have the option to purchase tickets to attend the in-person live event at the Sanderson Centre for the Performing Arts, or to stream it from the comfort of your own home.
