Host

Deck the halls with boughs of holly and make your way to the beautiful Saint Paul's Parish on December 14th for an magical evening of choral music featuring:

"Beloved carols that will bring back warm memories of Christmases and holidays past, masterpieces that transport you to a bygone era, and uplifting works that celebrate the joy of the season."

Led by music director, Noah Horn, whose work has been praised as “superb” (The New York Times), “well-prepared and joyful” (Detroit Free Press), “excellent,” and “fluent and fresh” (Opera News), the Cantata Singers have been a vibrant, cultural mainstay in Boston and the surrounding areas since the 1960s. A uniquely modern ensemble with deep roots in the past, built on a foundation of innovation and versatility, Cantata Singers promotes the rich heritage of choral music inspired by the musical genius of Johann Sebastian Bach alongside more modern works. Today, Cantata Singers offers fresh, inspiring interpretations of iconic music interspersed with intriguing, unfamiliar yet accessible works, including those by female composers and composers of color. Cantata Singers’s pioneering spirit can be seen in its juxtapositioning of well-known, rarely performed and new works.

Hark, hear these angels sing Christmas tunes as you've never heard them before. And for tickets available to our Groupmuse community members for half price, this is one holiday activity you won't want to miss.

Groupmuse ticket buyers will check in at the door with their name.
