A Great Light: A Virtual Early Music Christmas
Join Sonoma Bach on the Winter Solstice for our ninth annual Early Music Christmas.
We’ll feature music from Christmases past, woven together with holiday readings and with group singing.
Featured will be live recordings from Circa 1600’s 2019 concert ‘Let There Be Light’, including works by Hugo Distler, Michael Praetorius and Heinrich Schütz. We’ll also be revisiting one of our favorite chorale tunes, Philip Nicolai’s ‘Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern’, with recordings from one of our last concerts before the pandemic: 'The Orpheus of Amsterdam', featuring the Sonoma Bach Choir and our peerless friend and colleague, organist Anne Laver.
As we arrive at the darkest hour of a difficult year, we need to recognize and cherish light wherever we find it.
What light can persist in such times? Well, kindness is a light. Connection is a light. Generosity is a light.
Art is a light. Truth is a light. Community is a light. Please join us as we celebrate all these and more,
​and lift a glass with us to the hope of better times ahead.
