The Chorale’s Christmas concert is a perennial favorite. This year’s edition includes music inspired by Piero Della Francesca’s Nativity, William Ferris’s Make We Joy tells the Christmas story with a colorful cast of characters including singing angels and a forest full of chirping birds all lending their voices to the celebration of the great feast of Christmas. The first half of the program holds noble polyphony and frolicsome carols!

This is the Chicago premiere of British composer Gabriel Jackson’s Requiem, an important and mesmerizing new work that combines sections of the traditional Requiem text with poems from other cultures and traditions. Jackson has created a work which embraces a wide-ranging perspective on human mortality. Each movement is given a different character and musical style, and the result is a unique, sublime work which is filled with comfort and peace. The program will include a new work by Maestro Paul French composed for this anniversary season.
