A Classic Christmas - Gorgeous Seasonal music with orchestra. Saturday, November 23, 2024 @ 7:30 PM. Visual of ornaments and lights on a Christmas treee.

We open our season with beautiful and sublime holiday music for choir and orchestra. This most-loved festival has inspired exquisite music for centuries. In this concert, the choir will present a wide-range of music from the early Baroque to lush, contemporary harmonies with current texts of deep meaning. These composers, whose music you will hear, have expressed the season in delightful and exciting ways: Buxtehude, Arnesen, Vivaldi, Forrest, and Rutter. We welcome lyric soprano, Katy Clark, to this concert. Accompanied by London Symphonia.
