To All A Good Night 5
December 5-7, 2019
harbourfront centre theatre, toronto
Art of Time Ensemble’s annual holiday concert both thumbed its nose at convention and embraced the sentiments of the season. It was an irreverent, fresh approach to seasonal entertainment that experimented with the familiar and offers an eclectic range of unconventional holiday music from artists like Joni Mitchell, Tom Waits, Tom Lehrer, and many more.
