Portrait Lens? - canon EOS

[Fotografer]

Hi All,</p>
<p>bsp;</p>
<p>for christmas my parents let me choose one big gift since my birthday is close after as well....</p>
<p>bsp;</p>
<p>I want to get a lens that will be good for portraits/low light (without flash when possible). I have a canon EOS camera.. I was wondering what you would recommend for a high quality lens (without spending thousands of dollars) that would be good for portraits, and low light shots. I'm not a professional by any means, but go to a lot of friends bands shows, so being able to shoot in low light would be excellent as well.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>
