December 5, 7:30pm
Celebrate the holidays with Valérie Sainte-Agathe and Philharmonia Baroque Orchestra and Chorale in Vivaldi’s Gloria—a radiant choral masterpiece that bursts with joy and shines with new brilliance on period instruments, evoking the festive sound of 18th-century Venice. Corelli’s Christmas Concerto captures the stillness of a Baroque Christmas Eve, closing with a tender “Pastorale.” The program also introduces new voices: the U.S. premiere of Caroline Shaw’s The Holdfast and the world premiere of Roderick Williams’ Quem Pastores Laudavere.
See it at the Herbst Theatre, December 5, 7:30pm. Tickets at philharmonia.org/gloria or call the Box Office at (415) 295 2111.
