A joyous seasonal concert with The Emmanuel Choir, including the North American Premiere of Piers Connor Kennedy's Nowel-el-el!
About this Event

Benjamin Britten’s joyous Ceremony of Carols is cherished around the globe for its ebullient energy and graceful settings of Middle English Christmas texts. Scored for harp and treble voices (sopranos & altos), Britten’s masterpiece often leaves lower-voiced members of choirs yearning for a comparable musical experience — and, now, thanks to Welsh-Irish composer Piers Connor Kennedy, they have one! Composed in 2023 as a tenor & bass-voice companion to Ceremony of Carols, Nowel-el-el! similarly sets a suite of early English texts with shimmering harp accompaniment — and The Emmanuel Choir is honored to offer the North American premiere of this glorious new holiday work. In this concert, hear both Britten and Kennedy alongside other seasonal favorites — and celebrate Christmas with The Emmanuel Choir!

  • The Emmanuel Choir
  • Jacqueline Pollauf, harp
  • Piers Connor Kennedy, featured composer
  • Christian Lane, director

About the choir

The Emmanuel Choir is Maryland's premier professional liturgical choral ensemble.

A 16-voice fully-professional mixed-voice ensemble, its 12-member core is augmented by four Choral Scholars, each a local young artist. Rooted in the great and expansive choral traditions of the Anglican (Episcopal) Church, the Emmanuel Choir’s repertoire spans the centuries — from Italian Renaissance to English Romantic; from plainsong to the 21st century — and includes regular world-premiere performances of new music composed for the church of today and tomorrow. The choir is directed by Christian Lane.

About the venue

Emmanuel Episcopal Church is located in the heart of Baltimore's historic Mt. Vernon neighborhood. Its tremendous stone tower at the corner of Cathedral and W. Read Streets serves as a beacon in this community, and the nave's warm acoustic and gentle ambiance contribute to creating an ideal environment in which to hear choral and chamber music.

In 2022, the church building underwent a $3.2M transformation to make each space in its physical plant fully accessible to all; included in this project was an elevator, increased ramp access, and new restroom facilities.
