A Sweet Release....
Posted: September 3, 2012
The wonder and magic of the Christmas season comes alive on stage as Canada’s legendary songstress Rita MacNeil, joins internationally renowned composer and pianist Frank Mills for “Sharing Christmas”.
This unique performance of music, stories and memories brings the two artists back together again following the tremendous success of their 2010 “Spirit of Christmas Tour”. A CD of the same name was recorded at the time, containing classic material from both their repertoires in addition to a number of songs performed together. It has quickly become one of their most sought after recordings!
Rita’s Christmas tours are synonymous with the seasonal holiday and her Christmas releases continue to be amongst her best sellers. Frank ("Music Box Dancer") has once again been coaxed out of retirement to join Rita on tour, his affable nature and award winning style being a perfect fit for an evening of holiday celebration.
PLEASE NOTE: Tickets for the Fredericton show go on sale Wednesday, September 5th - tickets for all other shows go on sale Friday, September 7th.
