Karen Lee Morlang organizes some of the most wonderful FREE concerts in Vancouver. She brings emerging talent from the UBC School of Music, and puts them on stage at the Vancouver Library Central Branch.
Carolling Around the World
Alice MacKay Room, Lower Level

Vancouver
Karen always brings great enthusiasm to the audience and her performances and great performers with her! One year at the Christmas concert, she even got me standing up and singing along with her! It's hard to resist Karen's wonderful energy. She will of course defer to the many performers with her. But the truth is that it is she that sets the stage, and encourages others to shine.
Karen is also one of the singers in the accapella group The No Shit Shirleys. They were one of best received performers at the 2006 Gung Haggis Fat Choy dinner.
Here's what the VPL website says:
with fabulous singers, spirited instrumentalists and lots of
sing-a-long carols, all hosted by Vancouver impresario and pianist,
Karen Lee-Morlang.
This
year's roster includes the brilliant Bruce Henczel on a variety of
percussion instruments, bringing an exciting array of world beats,
rhythms and tunes to the mix!
Here's a message from Karen.
Have you ever wanted to hear some of your favorite seasonal tunes fused with the exotic rhythms of Cuba?
How about Spain, Brazil or Ghana? Ireland?
Join the ever versatile and award-winning percussionist Bruce Henczel and the irrepressible piano diva Karen Lee-Morlang at the Vancouver Public Library tomorrow night for a free, fun and unique evening of “Carolling Around the World”.
