The beautiful voices of Masterworks Chorale combine in haunting Renaissance polyphony and contemporary music ranging from deeply spiritual to holiday-happy. Among the delights are two settings of O Magnum Mysterium; the glorious Rennaisance version by Giovanni Gabrieli for double choir and brass contrasted with the haunting and beloved Morten Lauridsen setting of the same text, followed by the lovely holiday tune Snowfall, and the heart-warming Charlie Brown songChristmas Time is Here. Our special guests, the brilliant Bay Area brass quintet Epiphone Brass, accompanies us as we all sing favorite carols, and play special arrangements full of humor and flashes of jazz.
To further enhance your concert experience, mingle with friends old and new at intermission with warm winter drinks and Masterworks' traditional cookie buffet!
