Tree of Lights Campaign 2025-2026
The Bach Elgar Choir’s Tree of Lights Campaign invites you to come together with others in our community in a celebration of music, light, and generosity. Each donation helps light the Tree of Lights – a shining symbol of the warmth, joy, and unity that choral music brings to our community.
For 120 years, the Bach Elgar Choir has been a cornerstone of Hamilton’s cultural life – bringing exceptional choral music to our city since 1905. Your support celebrates this legacy and helps ensure that the choir continues to inspire audiences for generations to come. Not only will your gift sustain our performances, but it will also support BEC’s local singers, musicians, and composers by giving talented artists opportunities to perform, collaborate, and grow.
You may also choose to honour someone special with a gift that shines. Tribute gifts to our Tree of Lights campaign allow you to celebrate loved ones in a beautiful and enduring way.
