One Text, Two Choral Interpretations

Christmas Double Takes

Settings of classic music for the Christmas season include settings of Ave Maria, Magnificat, and The Lamb, by such composers as Purcell, Howells, and Tavener, as well as Medieval and modern settings of English texts. A reception will take place after the concert and you can vote on your favorites!
