PERFORMANCES
Description: For over 5 years the New York Choral Society has been
delighting family audiences with its popular Christmas at Carnegie
Hall concert. From jingling bells to jubilee to jazz, this is a
concert with something for everyone. NYCS will again be performing
with the acclaimed Young People's Chorus of New York City in a program
including the ever popular Gloria by John Rutter, Freedom Trilogy by
Paul Halley, Libby Larsen's Ringeltanze with handbell choir, a medley
of traditional carols by Conrad Susa, the Hallelujah Chorus and
excerpts from jazz legend Dave Brubeck's La Fiesta de la Posada.
Adapted from Mexican Christmas tradition and influenced by Mexican
folk music La Fiesta de la Posada tells the story of Mary and Josephís
search for lodging on the eve of her giving birth. Paul Halley's
Freedom Trilogy uses the folk music traditions of South Africa and
American Gospel and Jazz. It celebrates the season with the timely
themes of "peace on Earth" and freedom for all.
