Yuletide Fires

December 18, 19 & 20, 2005

Yuletide Fires builds on the sold-out concerts of the same name from last season, offering an invitation to relax into a Christmas performance full of beauty, grace, and quietness. Expect glowing Gregorian chant along with works by Lauridsen, Sirett, Hoddinott, and Conte, in a carefully selected balance of old and new as Chor Leoni brings you a gentle concert full of the expectation of Christmas.
