As it happens, her 2025 performances of the Under A Winter’s Moon concert of music and tales, began this week with two sold-out shows in her home base of Stratford, Ontario, but there are still a few tickets left for her London, Ontario show this Friday and her Toronto shows this weekend.
Loreena is featured in a delightful Zoomer.com story that highlights her personal and community Christmas traditions and explains how the seasonal concert she launched in 2021 as an antidote to pandemic isolation continues to bring people together for holiday cheer.

Loreena was recently a guest on the podcast The Gould Standard, hosted by Brian Levine and sponsored by the Glenn Gould Foundation. Their conversation was wide-ranging, covering Loreena’s “self-managed, self-produced and self-invented” career, as Levine put it.
Friends.ca hosts an online conversation between acclaimed singer-songwriter Loreena McKennitt and Friends of Canadian Media's Director of Government & Media Relations Sarah Andrews, discussing the enduring impact of the CBC, followed by a screening of Family: A Loving Look at CBC Radio.

In recent years I’ve sat down to reflect on the year ahead and the year gone by with hands poised on a computer keyboard. Of course it wasn’t always thus, having grown up in an era long before computers.
