A cherished Elora tradition, Festival of Carols returns to St. John’s Anglican Church with music that shines with the wonder, warmth, and beauty of the season. Under Mark Vuorinen’s direction, The Elora Singers and organist Jonathan Oldengarm present an inspired mix of traditional favourites and new discoveries. 

This year’s programme features a special highlight: the premiere of a newly commissioned carol by JUNO‑winning songwriter and composer Sarah Slean, created especially for The Elora Singers. Framed by traditional carols and exquisite choral settings, this piece adds a distinctive, contemporary voice to the beloved annual event. 

Festival of Carols offers moments of warmth, reflection, and joy — a musical gathering that captures the heart of the season.
