Experience Musical Gifts of Christmas with the Santa Cruz Chorale
As the holiday season approaches, we are delighted to invite you to Christmas with the Chorale, a musical journey that evokes the timeless spirit of Christmas. Join us on December 16 and 17 at Holy Cross Church for a celebration of the season through centuries of musical treasures.
Our program features works by renowned composers such as Byrd, Scheidt, Elgar, Britten, Tavener, and Biebl, and beloved carols from around the world. The power and beauty of this music will resonate with traditionalists and contemporary music enthusiasts alike.
This year, the centerpiece of our program is the Magnificat for orchestra and choir by Austrian composer Heinrich Biber. Born in the 17th century, Biber was known for his innovative and expressive compositions. His Magnificat is a masterful piece that beautifully captures the essence of the festive season.
Once again, we are honored to be joined by the Monterey Bay Sinfonietta, whose exceptional musicianship enriches our performances.
For Saturday concert, buy 4 tickets or more for $20 each.s
