Vivaldi Magnificat RV 601
Schutz Weihnachtshistorie SWV 435
Corelli Concerto grosso in G minor "Fatto per la Notte di Natale", Op.6 No.8
A Baroque Christmas program that traces the mystery of the Incarnation from proclamation to praise. Centered on Historia der Geburt Jesu Christi, one of the earliest German oratorio-style settings of the Nativity, the concert unfolds through vivid narration and dramatic intermedii that bring the Christmas story to life. This is paired with Magnificat RV 610, a brilliant and exuberant setting of Mary’s song, capturing the joy and theological weight of the moment in radiant Baroque style. Completing the program, Christmas Concerto Op. 6 No. 8 offers a pastoral and instrumental reflection on the Nativity, its warmth and lyricism providing a contemplative counterpart to the vocal works.
Together, these pieces form a cohesive meditation on the birth of Christ.

Holy Spirit, Enter In
Arensen Holy Spirit Mass
gregorian chant
A luminous and contemplative program centered on Holy Spirit Mass, this concert explores the presence and movement of the Spirit through ancient and modern sound. Drawing on the timeless tradition of plainsong, the program frames Arnesen’s expansive and expressive setting within the Church’s oldest musical language—unaccompanied chant that carries the breath, text, and prayer of centuries.
The Mass unfolds as both invocation and response, its radiant harmonies and lyrical gestures illuminating the enduring power of the sacred text. Interwoven plainsong provides moments of stillness and clarity. Together, these elements form a cohesive meditation on the Spirit’s work—ancient yet ever new—moving from quiet supplication to resonant affirmation.
