Laudate Coeli - Songs of Light In Winters Deep

Join us for a radiant program of Christmas music spanning three centuries, with soloists Rita Lilly, Mindy Ella Chu, Corey Head, and Chung-Wai Soong, performed with strings, organ, and harp. Buxtehude’s Das neugeborne Kindelein bursts with Baroque joy; Charpentier’s In nativitatem Domini brings vivid storytelling and Baroque charm; and Saint-Saëns’ Oratorio de Noël glows with Romantic warmth and elegance. Complementing these works
are three gems that illuminate the season’s spirit: Charpentier’s Magnificat, Brahms’s O Heiland, reiß die Himmel auf, and Distler’s Es ist ein Ros entsprungen.
