Maestro Galván leads BCS in a program that highlights the traditional music of Christmastime while incorporating the aural colors of contemporary holiday works featuring Francis Poulenc's Gloria, a 20th century work with changing meters, complex rhythms, profound dynamic contrasts and intense melodic colors. Throughout the concert cherished traditional carols appear amongst Christmas songs from around the globe such as composer Ariel Ramirez's Argentinean folk song "El Nacimiento" from the work Navidad; A La Nanita Nana, a gentle Ecuadorian lullaby carol; and the Nigerian Christmas song Betelehemu, a spirited, lively work. The program also includes John J. Nile's, I Wonder as I Wander; Berlioz's The Shepherds' Farewell and other treasured holiday songs.
Tickets are available in advance and at the door from BCS: General admission is $20 / two for $35, seniors and students with valid ID, $15 and children through high school, $5.
