Join us for a glorious program of music, featuring Dan Forrest’s luminous Lux: The Dawn from on High, scored for women’s chorus, piano, violin, and cello. Other favorites include Ruth Morris Gray’s jazzy, drum-driven What Child Is This and Siyahamba, Forrest’s warm and inclusive Shalom, and Elaine Hagenberg’s heartfelt O Come, Emmanuel. Please note: This concert will not be at our usual venue. We will return to Trinity Episcopal Church in May.

Join the MetWinds in kicking off your holiday season with a concert featuring your musical holiday favorites. Along with creative arrangements of Christmas and Hanukkah music, this program will feature Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring by J. S. Bach and the classic symphonic band work by Alfred Reed, Russian Christmas Music. John Higgins pays tribute to holiday music made famous from the Broadway stage in his arrangement Christmas On Broadway. This concert will also provide an opportunity for you to participate in a sing-a-long of Warren Barker’s Christmas Serenade. The concert will close in a fun-filled journey of Larry Mactaggart’s arrangement Jingle Bells, complete with cheering crowds and sounds of merriment.

Christmas Music from England and Early America

A much-loved Camerata holiday program returns two generations later! We celebrate Christmas in the English speaking world down through the centuries, with wonderful songs and carols from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance to early America. While most music presented here is art music — transcribed from old manuscripts and prints — the means of expression are generally direct and simple, with a strong folk and popular vein. Camerata’s top soloists, voices and instruments, offer a unique experience at year’s end.
