Masters Singers Christmas
Sunday, December 9, 4:00pm at First Parish Church
You're invited to start your holiday celebration with this
local tradition: a late afternoon holiday concert followed by a reception with
Christmas cookies! The Master Singers presents a program of rich
choral music with strings and organ, including Mozart’s Missa
Brevis in D and Francesco Durante’s Magnificat, which was
misattributed to Giovani Pergolesi for many years. The concert will close with
a selection of traditional Christmas carols, and a festive reception
follows. First Parish Church is located at 7 Harrington Road on the
historic Battle Green in Lexington, MA. The church is fully accessible with
ample free parking behind the church. Concert tickets are $25.00 for general
admission and $20.00 for seniors and students. Discounts are available from
members of the chorus and to WGBH member card holders and Greater Boston Choral
Consortium members.
