Celebrated actor Adrian Hough recreates Dylan Thomas’ reading ‘A Child’s Christmas in Wales’ for concerts in Nanaimo and Parksville. Malaspina Choir and the Sinclair Singers add your favourite carols and you get to sing along for some of them.
Stefanie Unger joins us on piano for both performances.
“It was snowing … it was always snowing at Christmas … I can never remember whether it snowed for six days and six nights when I was twelve, or whether it snowed for twelve days and twelve nights when I was six.” The prose of Welsh poet Dylan Thomas rings in our ears 70 years after he recorded it in 1952. We imagine all the delightful, comical characters of his little seaside town, as the young Thomas chases cats, puts out fires with snowballs, and goes carolling to a dark, spooky house.
