"Still" brings you a peaceful and reflective program of some of Elektra's signature Christmas repertoire from Canada, the United States, England, France, Austria, and Switzerland. From traditional melodies such as "Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence" and "Still, Still, Still" to the richness of Ola Gjeilo's "Northern Lights" and Abbie Betinis' "Prayer for Peace", this recording features Elektra alone and together with superb guest artists, Lorna McGhee (flute) , David Owen (oboe), the Borealis String Quartet, and Stephen Smith (organ and piano). Here you will meet old friends and centuries-old words crafted into new compositions alongside wholly original new Christmas works. All of this music was shard with our audiences over several years in the "Chez Nous: Christmas with Elektra" performances at Ryerson United Church in Vancouver. We Hope "Still" will become a treasured part of your holiday season with its blend of old and new and the distinctive sound of Elektra.
