CANDLELIT CHRISTMAS

MATTHEW SWANSON conductor

VAE’s beloved Candlelit Christmas returns to the Immaculate Heart of Mary Chapel at The Summit Country Day School. Music from across a thousand years is woven together into an unbroken tapestry of singing, all presented in contemplative candlelight. Hear the music of Judith Weir, Morten Lauridsen, Roderick Williams and other leading composers of today alongside the timeless plainchant and familiar carols of centuries past. Join VAE and fill the longest nights of the year with song.

Matthew Swanson will do a pre-concert talk at 7 pm before both performances.

“Music is inextricably tied to the Christmas season. We hope you’ll join us to hear songs both familiar and
new that share the hope, peace and joy of the holidays.”
