from the Pasadena Master Chorale
The Pasadena Master Chorale presents "The Glory of Christmas" on Saturday, December 14 at 7:30 PM at First Congregational Church in Pasadena. Tickets for the performance – which will include Vivaldi’s Gloria and Bach’s Magnificat – are available for $25/person at the door or online, at https://pmc1314christmas.eventbrite.com.
“Vivaldi’s Gloria is a gem,” says Artistic Director Jeffrey Bernstein. “It’s rhythmic and vital, like much of Vivaldi’s music, but it is also chock full of gorgeous choral writing, fresh ideas, and some truly shocking moments of dissonance and poignancy.”
Bach’s Magnificat, meanwhile, Bernstein characterizes as a “supernova of a piece.”
“Accompanied by an orchestra that includes timpani and trumpets, it’s a work full of bombast and joy – perfect for the holiday season!” Bernstein explains. “We are thrilled as well to welcome back Orchestra Camerata, which our audience first met last year when PMC performed Handel’s Messiah.”
