Fredericksburg Winter Concert
Sounds of the Season
A winter concert to warm your soul
In December, we’ll return with Sounds of the Season, bringing together holiday favorites, winter treats, and one of the great works of the choral repertoire: J.S. Bach’s Magnificat.
We’ll be joined by a full complement of instrumentalists and soloists for Bach’s brilliant setting of the traditional Magnificat text. It’s music filled with energy, celebration, tenderness, and some truly spectacular writing for voices and instruments.
Alongside it, we’ll share plenty of the music that makes our holiday concerts such a beloved Chamber Chorale tradition. It should be a wonderful event for the whole family.
