The Victoria Conservatory of Music is delighted to bring back Daniel Lapp’s beloved Home for Christmas concerts this holiday season! Join us on Wednesday, December 17, and Thursday, December 18, 2025, at 7:30 pm for a joyful 90-minute celebration filled with festive music and community spirit.

Under Daniel Lapp’s inspiring leadership, a vibrant group of student and faculty musicians, as well as special guests, come together to create a rich holiday experience. Featuring the talented young fiddlers of the BC Fiddle Orchestra, the energetic Folkestra!, and the uplifting voices of the Joy of Life Choir, alongside the lively Shiny H’ornaments, Swing’n Shepherds, and the Strings of Lights house band, this concert truly embodies the spirit of inclusivity and connection.

Special Guests

A versatile soprano and voice artist, Cathy Fern Lewis has been a leading figure in Canada’s professional new music and art scene since 1974. From traditional to contemporary repertoire, children’s presentations to pop concerts, her performances inspire audiences of all ages. She has collaborated with ensembles such as the Steve Reich Ensemble, Arraymusic, and Vancouver New Music, premiered numerous works by Canadian composers, and continues to bring new music to life with projects including collaborations with pianist/harpsichordist Katelyn Clark.

We are thrilled to welcome a boundary-pushing celestial folk trio featuring Daniel Lapp, Adam Dobres, and Adrian Dolan to this year’s Home for Christmas Concert. Together, these three celebrated Canadian musicians blend virtuosic fiddling, guitar, piano, and soulful musical storytelling into a sound that is both intimate and expansive. Their inspired collaboration brings extraordinary energy, warmth, and artistry to the stage—perfect for this festive holiday tradition.

Music That Brings Us Together

Home for Christmas is more than a concert—it’s a celebration of community, accessibility, and the shared joy of making music across generations. As a proud non-profit, all proceeds support the Victoria Conservatory of Music’s commitment to providing inclusive music education and wellness programs, ensuring everyone has the opportunity to experience the magic of music.

This holiday season, join us at the Royal Theatre to fill the space with warmth, laughter, and the timeless spirit of togetherness through beloved Canadian Christmas tunes and heartwarming seasonal favourites.
