Bach Society of Saint Louis Christmas Candlelight Concert
The Bach Society Chorus and
Orchestra celebrate the “glory of Christmas” with Bach’s Gloria in excelsis and more Christmas
classics. Then, joined by the UMSL
University Singers, the combined choirs offer a thrilling performance of John Rutter’s
festive and dynamic Gloria. The
candlelight procession, a cornerstone of this concert since 1951, is followed
by favorite carols of the season. But
the “perfect holiday experience” is not complete until the audience has been
treated to Craig Courtney’s witty setting of A Musicological Journey through the Twelve Days of Christmas. Sponsored by Ameren and Emerson. Tickets available online: www.bachsociety.org
