Baby It’s Cold Outside is a pop standard written and composed in 1936 by Frank Loesser. The song has since been covered by artists of all genres and has become a holiday staple. It will be a part of this year’s concert repertoire. The evening will be divided into two parts: the first a little more introspective, akin to the midnight mass of yesteryear with traditional Christmas hymns and the second part will be more festive, with songs bursting with holiday cheer.
Classical hits from the francophone and Anglophone repertoire
Les Muses’ Monique Poirier can’t wait to present their new Christmas concert to the public: “Our repertoire is always evolving and we have hit song from both the francophone and Anglophone repertoire. We have set up a medley of hits by Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton as their Christmas album is definitely a holiday season classic.”
George Belliveau of the Bélivo Brothers adds: “We’ve been having a lot of fun trying to find new songs to vary our repertoire. We will present our own arrangement of Santa Baby and also a series of songs a little more melancholic.”
Roland Gauvin is proud of this concert: “We are very fortunate to have the presence of musicians such as Jean-Pascal Comeau, François Émond, and Denis Hachey as well as the special participation of the Moncton youth choir Les Jeunes chanteurs d’Acadie. I believe this show will please everyone, young and old alike!”
