SUMMARY

Come celebrate the magic of Christmas with some of the most beautiful traditional German songs, choral masterpieces by J. S. Bach, Jacobus Handl and Michael Praetorius, and such holiday classics as Silent Night and O Christmas Tree. Timeless melodies, shimmering polyphonies, and well-known carols
are combined in a joyful experience in which the audience is invited to sing along with the choir, joining voices to rekindle the warm and festive atmosphere of Christmases past.

With the participation of Le Consort Laurentien.
