✨ About the Program
Join us this winter as we raise our voices in a program that celebrates the beauty of human connection through music from around the world. Anchoring the concert are selected excerpts from Benjamin Britten’s beloved Ceremony of Carols — a shimmering masterpiece originally for treble voices and harp that captures both mystery and joy.
Alongside Britten’s work, we’ll sing a festive setting of the Sephardic folksong “Mi Zeh Y’Meleil,” the lively Renaissance villancico “Riu, Riu, Chiu,” and a powerful South African setting of Handel’s “And the Glory of the Lord” by our dear friend Bongani Magatyana.
Together, these pieces weave a rich tapestry of languages, rhythms, and traditions — reminding us that in every culture and every season, music brings people closer. This program is about unity, humanity, and the joy of singing together.
🎶 Please note: While Choir League intentionally doesn’t have any religious affiliation, songs that originated in a spiritual tradition may appear in our holiday programming.
🎄 Bonus Event: RiNo Caroling Night
Our holiday concert cycles are near and dear to our hearts! Included in this cycle is our RiNo Caroling Event, typically held the week before the concert — a festive favorite among our singers and one of the most joyful traditions of the year.
