One of the unique elements of the Talbot Street Christmas Market is our LIVE music! This year we've got an incredible line up of talented musicians. Check out their short bios below and when they'll be performing in the pinned post!
David Devries & Dan Flaherty | David is a trumpet player who especially loves playing during the Christmas season. David has played at the Talbot Street Christmas Market since 2018, and may have busked on a frigid street corner once before too. He is joined by Dan Flaherty, an experienced and wonderful guitarist.
Leah Beldman | Mesmerized by the ballet—especially The Nutcracker— Leah Beldman was inspired to play the violin after watching the musicians in the pit perform with such emotion. Leah trained classically and minored in music at Redeemer University, and loves to improvise and play from the heart. Leah loves sharing her passion for music on the worship team at Talbot Street Church.
Marque Smith & Tora Klassen | Marque & Tora team up for the first time, combining their love of jazz and Christmas carols. Marque Smith serves as the Worship Director at Grace United Church in Sarnia and collaborative pianist at Lester B. Pearson School for the Arts in London. Tora serves as the Worship Director at Talbot Street Church, and they credit the London Gospel Collective for bringing them together!
Roldan Ortiz | Roldan is a singer-songwriter and an active member of the Talbot Street Church worship ministry. Originally from Colombia, Roldan writes and sings songs of faith and trust in God, bringing his warmth and joy to every performance.
