An afternoon of pure delight! Laudate Singers and Baroque Chamber Orchestra herald the Christmas season with a grand afternoon of sumptuous French Baroque music. Marc-Antoine Charpentier’s Messe de Minuit pour Noël is a Midnight Mass for Christmas with a delightful use of French Christmas carols. The regal Te Deum (H.146) is brilliant! The Orchestra will also play a collection of fanfares by Jean-Joseph Mouret. Both Mouret and Charpentier were popular in 17th century France and then almost forgotten until being rediscovered in the 20th century. Their music is a gift to us of beauty and exhilaration. A sweet reception gives you time to mingle with the musicians at intermission.
