Our 2022 holiday program explores the rich musical legacy of the Virgin Mary, from medieval polyphony to contemporary carols and anthems. The main course at this sumptuous musical feast is Claudio Monteverdi's 1610 setting of the Magnificat for six voices and continuo.

All musicians will perform from the choir loft (different from previous Ars Lyrica performances at St. Philip), creating a divine listening experience as music floats down from above and envelops the audience.

Featuring:
Julia Fox, soprano
Alexandra Gorman, soprano
Michael Skarke, countertenor ˚
Kyle Stegall, tenor ˚
Thomas O’Neill, tenor
Christopher Besch, bass-baritone
Mario Aschauer, organ
