An Orthodox Christmas: Music of Russia, Romania and Ukraine
December 12, 13 and 14, 2008
For the first concert of our 30th Anniversary Season, Bay Choral Guild
(BCG) welcomes the Holidays with Christmas music from Russia and
Eastern Europe, featuring:
Dimitry Bortniansky's Sacred Concerto No. 6
A rediscovered Cherubic Hymn by Bulgarian composer Dobri Hristov
Anthems by Chesnokov, Gretchaninoff, and Tchaikovsky
Carols from Russia, Romania, and Ukraine
In the grand tradition of Russian choral music, these glorious
compositions are majestic and simple, some familiar, some unfamiliar
in the West, but all are resplendent with extraordinary power and
grace.
