Noël & Nowell (Holiday Concert w/Kirkland Choral Society)

Celebrate the holiday season with music that sparkles with joy and warmth. From Samuel Coleridge-Taylor’s festive Christmas Overture and Michael Torke’s shimmering December to Craig Courtney’s clever musical romp through The Twelve Days of Christmas, this holiday tradition culminates in Poulenc’s radiant Gloria, one of the Twentieth Century’s most uplifting choral masterpieces.
