Oh what joy, for a girl or boy to receive a toy at Christmas.
Regardless of the generation, everyone has a memory of a favourite toy received at Christmas. Whether the gift was brought by St. Nicholas, Christkindl or Santa Claus, its memory rekindles recollections of the joy and excitement that children experience at Christmas. The Bible tells us that the Magi, or Wise Men, brought gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh upon the birth of Jesus. But when did other children start receiving gifts, particularly toys, at Christmas?
The Grand Philharmonic Children’s choir was founded in 1987 and has since been recognized for its excellence in tone and musicianship. This youthful choir provides an opportunity for children to learn a variety of types of music from classical to folk music, to modern music that is representative of many countries and cultures. The children receive training in music literacy, voice production, vocal and choral techniques and personal development. Many singers remain with the Children’s choir throughout their school years. The choir is directed by Andrea DeBoer-Jones.
