‘Gloria’ Holiday Concert Debuts at Christ Church

Christ Church Greenwich and the Young Artists Philharmonic announce a new partnership culminating in the holiday concert “GLORiA: Music of the Season” taking place on Saturday, Dec. 9 at 6 p.m.

“This is exciting news for classical music fans in our community,” says Jamie Hitel, Director of Music, Christ Church Greenwich. “This new partnership finds its roots in the shared purpose of immersing young performers in rich repertoire from across the centuries. The program for GLORiA: Music of the Season will include movements from Vivaldi’s effervescent Gloria, as well as a stirring setting of the same text by Haydn for boy treble solo, choir, and orchestra. The English Baroque receives a nod in Purcell’s setting of Rejoice in the Lord always, before the evening is brought to a rousing conclusion with movements from Handel’s Messiah, including the Hallelujah chorus.”

“Youth orchestras rarely get the chance to collaborate with choirs, so this is an incredible opportunity for all the young musicians involved. This symbiotic partnership will show the community just how much talent there is in our own backyard. Our mission of musical excellence in instrumental performance for young people accords with the world-class standards of Christ Church Music and its choirs. We invite the public to join us for a wonderful evening of baroque and classical masterpieces,“ says Gregory Robbins, Executive Director of the Young Artists Philharmonic.

Tickets can be purchased online at christchurchgreenwich.org/gloria, and at the door, with patron tickets receiving priority seating in the church sanctuary at Christ Church Greenwich.
