The annual Christmas Concert at St. John the Divine celebrates France! Poulenc’s stunning organ concerto gives the Great Organ a star turn, while his Four Motets evoke the mystery of the Christmas miracle. Charpentier’s charming In Nativitatem Domini Nostri Jesu Christi Canticum tells the Christmas story through a Baroque lense, angels and shepherds abiding! The audience joins to sing favorite Christmas carols and the Cathedral Choristers will adorn the program with seasonal selections by Willcocks, Britten, Rutter and Fraser, accompanied by harp. Guaranteed to put you into the holiday spirit!
