The featured work is William Mathias’ lyrical setting of Salvator Mundi, a Christmas carol sequence based on seven carols from the 15th – 17th centuries. Mathias was considered one of the greatest of Welsh composers, whose technical sophistication never got in the way of his love of lyrical vocal lines and the sense of text, occasion and emotional spirit of his music. Salvator Mundi calls for “piano 4 hands” and we are honoured to welcome the VSO’s Maestro, Bramwell Tovey, to share the piano bench with Elektra’s own Stephen Smith.

Artistic Director, Morna Edmundson, has gathered some of Vancouver’s top musicians to join in the festivities and share their musical gifts. Elektra is pleased to welcome composer and guitarist, Ed Henderson, Jodi Proznick on acoustic bass, and Zing! Children’s Choir directed by Lisa Reimer to Chez Nous: Christmas with Elektra.

Expect familiar carols to sing along with, new favourites, seasonal readings and treats for the kids, and of course, the brilliant singing of Elektra to help launch your holiday preparations!

There are a few mandates which the TechFest must follow...

1. By and For the Community

TechFest's are about the community at large. They are meant to be a place for developers AND IT Professionals to come and learn from their peers. Topics are always based on community interest and never determined by anyone other than the community.

2. Always Free

TechFest's are always free for attendees.

3. Community Developed Material

The success of the TechFest's is that they are based on community content. All content that is delivered is original. All presentation content must be provided (including any code and your slide decks). If you have content you don’t want to share or provide to attendees then the TechFest is not the place for you.

4. No Fluff

TechFest's are about getting to the nitty gritty. Refer to rule #1 if you have any questions on this.

5. Community Ownership

The most important element of the TechFest is always the community. All are welcome to attend and speak and do so without expectation of payment or any other compensation other than their participation in the community.

6. Never occur during work hours

We need to understand that many times people can’t leave work for a day or two to attend training or even seminars. The beauty of the TechFest is that they always occur on weekends.

Why not a Code Camp? What's the difference?

Well, a Code Camp is strictly focused on the Developer where our TechFest is all about Technology, any technology. We feel that IT Professionals, as well as Developers, should be given the chance to present their wares! Also, do not come to this event and expect all the presentations to focus just on Microsoft technologies. We strive to balance the content.
