Presenting Series


Praised as "a sheer delight" (The New York Times), Apollo's Fire's acclaimed Christmas program comes to Notre Dame! Artistic Director Jeannette Sorrell weaves the extraordinary works of 17th-century composer Michael Praetorius into a Vespers service. The concert hall resounds in a splendor often reminiscent of Monteverdi—with antiphonal choirs, trumpets, sackbuts, cornettos, lutes, harp, strings, and recorders. Familiar highlights include "Lo, How a Rose E're Blooming" and "In Dulci Jubilo." Children's voices shine in this haunting and joyous celebration of the Christ child.



Made possible by a gift from Victoria and David Temple. Co-presented by the Glynn Family Honors Program.
