SUMMARY:Home for the Holidays ~ An Ella Fitzgerald Christmas
DESCRIPTION:Under the creative direction of A.J.E. Global Productions, in association with Ocean Entertainment Worldwide, comes a stunning new exclusive and limited engagement world premiere holiday concert celebrating the iconic ELLA FITZGERALD. ​\nStep out of the winter chill and into the elegant, warm, golden glow of a mid-century jazz club. HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS ~ AN ELLA FITZGERALD CHRISTMAS brings the magic of the “First Lady of Song” to life in a beautiful new concert celebrating Ella Fitzgerald’s most beloved seasonal recordings. \nStarring acclaimed award-nominated Hawaiian born Canadian Actress & Recording Artist, LEINA DEBOER, (Abbotsford Resident), and the electrifying musical talents of Nanaimo’s very own JAMES DARLING, this truly memorable evening is sure to leave audiences with a warm and nostalgic feeling this holiday season.\nBacked by a world-class jazz quartet featuring Canadian musicians DAVID CABALLERO, KOSMA BUSHEIKIN, and GRAHAM VILLETTE, this concert transports audiences back to 1960, the year Ella released her seminal holiday album. The evening captures her signature blend of effortless vocal virtuosity, intimate storytelling, and joyful improvisation. \nFrom the brassy, uptempo heat of big-band swing to quiet, fireside ballads, the performance is a joyous love letter to the Great American Songbook clad in tinsel and velvet. With her melodic and rich voice, natural charm, and dynamic stage presence, LEINA DEBOER captures the feel, tone, style and beauty of not only this iconic entertainer, but of the season itself, as only she can. \nFeaturing high-energy renditions of holiday classics that will have you tapping your toes, including “Let It Snow”, “Sleigh Ride”, and “My Favorite Things”, to more fireside and intimate selections including a soulful, stripped-back acoustic set featuring a sultry piano-and-vocal performance of “What Are You Doing New Year’s Eve?”, a lush, emotional delivery of “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas”, and a stirring rendition of  the timeless “The Christmas Song”. \nThis isn’t just a concert—it is a cozy, nostalgic time capsule. It captures the exact qualities that made Ella Fitzgerald a global treasure: her flawless purity of tone, her impeccable timing, and above all, the genuine warmth and humility she shared with every audience. Perfect for jazz lovers and holiday dreamers alike, Home for the Holiday’s ~ An Ella Fitzgerald Christmas is the ultimate way to ring in the season with style, soul, and a whole lot of holiday joy. ​\nWe welcome you to join us this December for an unforgettable holiday event not to be missed as we celebrate the music, stories, traditions, and many joy moments created at this most special time of year.\nMatsqui Centennial Auditorium1st floor, 32315 South Fraser Way, Abbotsford, BC V2T 1W7\nTuesday, December 22, 2026 | 8:00 pm\nTickets: Individual: $64.50 (AD) | $59.00 (SN) – 65 years +\nPurchase Online at www.oceanentworldwide.com\nGroups (10 or more) 10% off – Email: oceanentworldwide@gmail.com\n
