Sweet Was the Song the Virgin Sang!
The great mystery of the Nativity has inspired poets and storytellers throughout the centuries. In setting these lyrical texts, composers have long shown a special affinity for women’s voices. They portray Mary as the Lowly Maiden, the Bearer of God, the Rose of great virtue, the Virgin Most Pure — singing sweet lullabies to her Son.
Voix de Femmes Chamber Choir will present selected gems from this vast treasury of music, including excerpts from Benjamin Britten’s beloved Ceremony of Carols, alongside newer works by contemporary composers Abbie Betinis, Sarah Quartel, and Marie-Claire Saindon.
The choir will be accompanied by the talented Grace Cho.
