Catherine MacLellan Christmas
at Hunstman Marine Science Centre, Saint Andrews NB, Thursday, Dec 15th, at 7:30pm and
at Charlotte Street Arts Centre on Friday, Dec 16th at 8PM (doors 7:30)
JUNO Award-winning singer-songwriter Catherine MacLellan is bringing her Christmas Show to the Maritimes this year. Sharing beloved classics, self-penned holiday songs and some rare gems, Catherine will be accompanied on stage by special guest Tanya Davis and guitarist Nick Gauthier.
Catherine says, “I’ve always loved the music of Christmas, and the fun times singing in kitchens with friends and family over a glass of eggnog. That is the energy I’ll be bringing with me, hoping that people sing along and catch some of that holiday spirit!”
Last year, Catherine released her first Christmas album, a self-engineered and self-produced EP, which includes the original single (“Calling You Home (for the Holidays)”) and three beloved classics (“In The Bleak Midwinter”, “Blue Christmas”, and “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”).
“I love the coziness of winter, it’s a time for introspection but also a time for gathering around fires and feasts. Christmas shows bring in all of that for me, the balance between joyful silliness and the sacred. It makes me feel like a child again,” says Catherine.
The Fredericton Music Festival is a registered, charitable, non-profit organization. It is organized and conducted solely by volunteers.
The Objectives of the Fredericton Music Festival are:
Icarus, Falling of Birds. A conversation and reading presented by UNB English, UNB French, and the UNB Arts Centre in partnership with Westminster Books and Goose Lane Editions.

We invite you to attend ICARUS, FALLING OF BIRDS: A Conversation & Reading, presented by UNB English, UNB French, & the UNB Arts Centre in partnership with Westminster Books & Goose Lane Editions, featuring Harry Thurston, Thaddeus Holownia & Sonya Malaborza.
In September of 2013, thousands of migratory songbirds perished after being lured like moths to a hundred-foot-high flare at the Canaport Liquefied Natural Gas plant in Saint John, NB. Photographer Thaddeus Holownia and poet Harry Thurston memorialize the fateful event in Icarus, Falling of Birds & Icare, chute d’oiseaux, translated by Sonya Malaborza. Photographer, poet, and translator will discuss their collaborative process and the importance of addressing the climate crisis through art. Their conversation will be followed by a bilingual reading.
HARRY THURSTON is a poet, award-winning journalist, and author of more than two dozen books of poetry and non-fiction. He is a mentor in the Master of Fine Arts in Creative Nonfiction program at University of King’s College, Halifax.
THADDEUS HOLOWNIA is emeritus professor of fine arts at Mount Allison University. His photographs have been exhibited and collected at museums throughout North America and Europe.
Since venturing into the field of literary translation some twenty years ago, SONYA MALABORZA has translated several contemporary poets, playwrights, essayists, and novelists into French. Translations to her credit include Ami McKay’s The Birth House (L’accoucheuse de Scots Bay), which was shortlisted for the 2020 Governor General’s Literary Award.
