Christmas Memories
An evening of pure holiday magic.

This concert brings joy and cheer to the whole family. And some great laughs too! Michael sings traditional Christmas favourites such as Winter Wonderland, White Christmas, and Oh Holy Night. Plus a Holiday Movie Medley and the hilarious holiday satire “The Ghost Of The Turkey”. Also included: The breathless and stirring “Tribute To Julia Ward Howe” which has inspired standing ovations even when placed in the middle of the program!

The program concludes with a joyful family sing-along.
