The concert opens with Arcangelo Corelli’s “?ℎ??????? ????????” Op. 6, No. 8, a baroque gem written for a Roman Christmas Eve celebration in 1690. Alternating between graceful lyricism and vibrant ensemble interplay, Corelli’s concerto captures the warmth and reverence of the nativity story with its pastoral finale — a moment of hushed wonder beneath the starlit sky.

Next comes Gerald Finzi’s “?? ????? ???”, a radiant and deeply personal meditation on peace. Written in 1954, this work blends choir, baritone, soprano, and orchestra in a sound world of quiet beauty and emotional depth. Finzi weaves the Christmas narrative into a modern reflection on hope, memory, and the search for stillness amid uncertainty.

The evening culminates with highlights from George Frideric Handel’s “??????ℎ”, one of the most beloved and enduring works in classical music. From the powerful opening “??????? ??” to the triumphant “?????????ℎ” chorus, Handel’s score radiates joy and redemption, blending theatrical vitality with spiritual transcendence.

Together, these works trace a journey from intimate devotion to universal celebration — an invitation to experience the transformative power of live orchestral and choral music in one of New Orleans’s most breathtaking settings.

???????? ??????????

????????? ??????? (1653–1713)
A pioneering figure of the Italian Baroque, Corelli shaped the language of instrumental music through his mastery of the concerto grosso and the violin sonata. His graceful melodies and elegant counterpoint influenced generations of composers, laying the foundation for the expressive orchestral writing of Handel and Bach.

?????? ????? (1901–1956)
An English composer celebrated for his lyrical sensitivity and human warmth, Finzi’s music often explores themes of transience, faith, and renewal. Drawing inspiration from English poetry and landscape, his works blend introspective beauty with an understated emotional honesty that continues to resonate with audiences today.

?????? ???????? ?????? (1685–1759)
Born in Germany and celebrated across Europe, Handel became one of the defining voices of the Baroque era. His oratorio Messiah, composed in just 24 days, has become a cornerstone of holiday tradition worldwide. Handel’s music fuses dramatic power with radiant faith, reminding us of music’s ability to uplift the human spirit.
