WHAT:

A Twelfth Night Concert including, among other works, Mid-winter by Bob Chilcott, Bethlehem Down by Peter Warlock, and the jubilant Gloria by John Rutter.

Also known as the Feast of the Epiphany, Twelfth Night has a long history of varied musical traditions from around the world.
 

Concert will also include a singalong of new and old holiday carols such as We Three Kings and The Twelve Days of Christmas.

 

WHO:

Internationally acclaimed, The City Choir of Washington and Chamber

Orchestra, led by Artistic Director Robert Shafer.

Guest Conductor, maestra Gretchen Kuhrmann.

Guest Choir, West Springfield High School Madrigals.

 

WHEN:

Twelfth Night, Sunday, January 6, 4:30 PM EST

 

WHERE:

National Presbyterian Church

Among organizations supporting and or assisting the concert are the Folger Shakespeare Library, the California Choral Directors Association (CCDA), and the West Springfield High School Madrigals. The performance by the Madrigals, under the direction of Dustin Brandt, continues TCCW's tradition of showcasing exceptional, local high school choirs as a Partner in Song.

Contributions are being collected and a donation made by TCCW to help choral organizations most severely affected by the Northern California / Camp Fire, especially the choirs at Paradise High School, much of which burned to the ground.

This concert event follows on the heels of the choir's recently acclaimed, sold out, Armistice Day concert commemorating the centennial of the end of WWI.
