# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Blue Heron Presents: ‘Christmas in 16th-Century Spain’ concert and conversation with Meghna Chakraba
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 17 Dec, 2025 at 07:00 pm – Wed, 17 Dec, 2025 at 09:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Acclaimed vocal ensemble Blue Heron returns to CitySpace for a celebration of Christmas in 16th-century Spain, featuring mystical motets by Cristóbal de Morales, vivacious villancicos by Francisco Guerrero and a dash of comedy — Mateo Flecha’s rollicking tale of a shipwreck on Christmas Day, “La Bomba.” In between performances, artistic director Scott Metcalfe will sit down with On Point host Meghna Chakrabarti to discuss the music.

Blue Heron combines vivid live performance with the study of original source materials and historical performance practices. They span a wide repertoire, including 15th-century English and Franco-Flemish polyphony, Spanish music between 1500 and 1600 and neglected early 16th-century English music. The ensemble also regularly performs earlier and later music, from “Le Cantique des Cantiques” (1952) for twelve voices by Jean-Yves Daniel-Lesur, and “Devran” (2017) by Boston’s Mehmet Ali Sanlıkol.
