Come celebrate the magic of Christmas with some of the most beautiful traditional German carols, choral masterpieces by J. S. Bach, Jacobus Handl, and Michael Praetorius, as well as beloved holiday classics such as Silent Night and O Christmas Tree. Timeless melodies, shimmering polyphony, and familiar carols blend together in a joyful experience where the audience is invited to sing along—accompanied on this occasion by the Chorale du Conservatoire de musique de Saguenay and the Ecce Novum Choir, joining forces with the Studio de musique ancienne de Montréal—to rekindle the festive and heartwarming spirit of Christmases past.
This concert is presented as part of the Le Baptême concert series, in collaboration with the Chorale du Conservatoire de musique de Saguenay and the Ecce Novum Choir.
