Benjamin Britten's Festive Masterpiece Performed Alongside
Holiday Music Featuring Chorus, Harp and Oboe

Santa Clara Chorale

Scot Hanna-Weir, conductor
A multi-movement masterpiece where ancient melodies entwine with modern harmonies, Benjamin Britten’s timeless Ceremony of Carols traverses centuries and continents, embracing the magic and wonder of the season. This magnus opus is presented with vibrant interweavings of carols from across the world—including Latvian and Spanish carols by Andrejs Jansons and Noé Sánchez—and the enrapturing, festive sounds of the oboe and harp in Stephen Paulus’ enchanting Three Nativity Carols and Abbie Betinis’ beautiful arrangement of “In the Bleak Midwinter.” This transcendental experience of choral brilliance makes for a perfectly unique way to ring in the holiday season!
