Newport Classical presents a modern twist on a timeless Christmas tradition with Cantus’s Lessons and Carols for Our Time. The acclaimed low-voice ensemble, known for their trademark warmth and blend, returns to Newport after an enchanting, sold-out performance in 2023. Perfect for families and classical music aficionados alike, this hour-long concert beautifully blends poetry with sacred and secular music by reimagining the beloved Nine Lessons and Carols format made famous by the Choir of King’s College at the University of Cambridge. With a special appearance by the Professional Choristers of The Choir School of Newport County, this promises to be a moving holiday experience that celebrates the spirit of the season.

The wind has abated, my original composition will be performed on December 17 2023.

The opportunity to hear this composition performed live by the CCC is an especially meaningful one for me. Growing up in Cambridge, I am excited to hear my neighbors and friends come together to sing my composition. I am thrilled and honored for the opportunity to share my music with my community in Cambridge and beyond.
