Christmas Classical Choral Concert: A French Nativity

2008-11-30T20:00:00Z

Celebrating their 10th anniversary season, the PFC will kickoff their concert series with their first ever Christmas choral-themed concert honoring works by composers Charpentier and Saint-Saëns. Known in the area as collaborators with the Plymouth Philharmonic Orchestra’s Holiday POPS program, this concert is a first venture for the organization. “This holiday season, we have an opportunity to embrace our own rich choral repertoire that will expand on the performance opportunities we enjoy with Plymouth Philharmonic Orchestra,” said Richter, “We feel fortunate to offer a concert devoted solely to choral Christmas music of the French Baroque and Romantic eras. The audience will be treated to the sounds of the season with choral music we have longed to showcase.”

The concert features Christmas Oratorio, work of composer Camille Saint-Saëns (1835-1921) written in 1828 when he was just 23 years old. The piece is said to be written in the style of Sebastian Bach, recalling his own Christmas Oratorio. Also in the program is the Messe de minuit pour Noël (Midnight Mass for Christmas Eve) by Marc-Antoine Charpentier (1643-1704), composed in 1690. Charpentier is the most recorded French baroque composer in the last half century, with more than half of his 550 works now available on disc.

Tickets for the performances are priced at $15.00 in advance and $18.00 at the door. Advance tickets are available at The Golden Gull Studios at 17 South Park Avenue in Plymouth, 508-746-8091; Frame It Studio and Gallery at The Pinehills, Meeting Way in Plymouth, 508-209-0550; The Plymouth Philharmonic office on North St. in Plymouth, 508-746-8008; and from PFC members. To reserve tickets by phone, please call Cyndy Dorchester at 781-447-4865. For more information on the concert or PFC, please visit their website at www.pilgrimfestival.org
