Christmas with Charpentier

28/11/2019

With some wonderfully emotive French music for Christmastide we turn to Marc-Antoine Charpentier for our annual seasonal concerts.

Shepherds and angels tell us the story of Nativity in two expressive sacred works about the arrival of baby Jesus.  

This is a rare chance to hear us perform festive music from 17th-century France, which is seldom performed in the UK. 

Find out more about the music in this Q&A with  our artistic advisor James Halliday.

Ahead of our December concerts at the Christmas Festival of the National Centre for Early Music in York and at St John's Smith Square in London, we had a chat with James Halliday to take us through the specific seasonal repertoire by Marc-Antoine Charpentier we'll be performing:

"If you’re on a quest for the ever more elusive ‘meaning of Christmas’, then this concert is for you."
