Magnificat revives its inaugural program centered on Schütz's Weihnachtshistorie (Christmas Story) in honor of its 20th season and SFEMS’s 35th. One of Schütz's most beloved compositions, the oratorio’s colorful instrumentation, dramatic characterizations, and above all the brilliant role given to the Evangelist make it the most appealing setting of the Christmas narrative from the century before Bach. With special guests The Whole Noyse and the Sex Chordæ Consort of Viols. A resplendent Baroque holiday feast.
