Looking for something festive that isn’t the same old holiday soundtrack? Vivaldi’s Gloria delivers pure choral joy, Corelli brings cozy winter calm, and brand-new works by Roderick Williams and Caroline Shaw tap into themes of hope, connection, and resilience—all performed on period instruments for a vivid, old-world sound that feels surprisingly fresh.

Celebrate with your community and hear music that spans centuries but hits right now.

About This Concert

  • A holiday favorite with audiences for centuries, Vivaldi’s Gloria is full of jubilant choruses and moments of serene beauty.
  • Corelli’s Christmas Concerto evokes the stillness of a Baroque Christmas Eve, closing with a tender “Pastorale” that’s full of calm and light.
  • World premiere: Be among the first to hear Roderick Williams’ new choral work, Quem Pastores Laudavere (Him Whom Shepherds Praised), which was written especially for Philharmonia.
  • The U.S. premiere of Caroline Shaw’s The Holdfast offers shimmering harmonies and celebrates resilience, connection, and the beauty of holding on through change.
