Auditioning conductor Amy Solberg put the program together, focusing on the mother-and-child theme. “It’s especially poignant during the holidays,” says Rowell. “The theme of mother and child was what resonated with her most and it seemed perfect for our program.” The program includes Four Motets by Duruflé and Magnificat by Clausen. Works by Rachmaninoff, Willan and others are also on the schedule. As always, the program ends with a group sing-along of “Silent Night.”
Rowell has a word of advice to fans planning to attend the concert. “Get your tickets early! It’s a small space, and this show is going to sell out,” he says happily.
