Christmas At Emmanuel

Sunday, December 17, 2023, 4.00pm

Join Emmanuel Music, along with Cambridge Common Voices, Andrew Clark, conductor, and Boston Children’s Chorus, Krystal Morin, conductor, for an opulent celebration of the holiday season, centered around Benjamin Britten’s dramatic cantata Saint Nicolas, inspired by Saint Nicholas’ legendary care for the poor and oppressed. Set against the lush horns and arias of Bach’s Epiphanytide cantata, Sie werden aus Saba alle kommen, BWV 65, we link holiday traditions old and new with a newly commissioned motet by Jonathan Woody, inspired by its accompanying program.

An Overview of your impact

We couldn’t be more delighted to celebrate with you all of Emmanuel Music’s artistry and programming, both innovative and traditional, as we prepare to enter our 54th season.

We hope the below brochure will demonstrate how innovation meets tradition at Emmanuel Music; how we uphold our artistic legacy while embracing the tools and needs of our current moment.

As Emmanuel Music’s programs are 75% funded by individual philanthropy, none of this would be possible without your support in any amount.
