Boston Choral Ensemble's annual holiday concert is always an audience favorite, so you're sure to love Christmas Connection: Noel, an afternoon of festive carols for choir and audience, and readings for the season. This year, we're excited to have special guest host Bill Littlefield, of NPR's Only a Game. The concert is preceded by an organ recital by Boston Choral Ensemble artistic director Andrew Shenton, beginning at 2:30pm. Featuring music by Whitacre, Gjielo, Sandström, and Howells, the concert continues our season's theme of Connections with two motets for Christmas by Francis Poulenc (featured in our November concert, Fête) and a setting of Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming by Hugo Distler (from our March concert). Don't miss this year's one performance of Christmas Connection: Noel!
