| | Bach's Christmas Oratorio with Oratorio Chorale
The Christmas Oratorio is pure joy — triumphant brass, dancing rhythms, melodies so bright they seem to carry their own light. But Bach being Bach, there is tenderness here too: intimate arias, moments of quiet wonder, music that doesn't just celebrate the season but seems to breathe it. The Oratorio Chorale gathers all six parts into one magical 75-minute evening. It's dark out there. Let Bach light things up.

| | Sing We Noël
“Somehow, the roads were better on the way home, and the fellow travelers less hurried, everyone less focused on the work to be done to get through Christmas, and more thoughtful about the possibilities of something deeper and more meaningful arising from the season at the darkest hour of the year... If you get a chance to see ‘Sing We Noel’ next Christmas, please don’t miss it. It will change your perspective on the season.” —Wiscasset Newspaper
Come sing the carols you know by heart, and leave room to be surprised and moved — then stay for the cookie and cocoa party that follows.
