The Manhattan Choral Ensemble will welcome the season with a celebration of the sounds of Christmas from Spain and Portugal. Familiar carols such as Riu, Riu Chiu and E la don don will delight the ear alongside new settings of less frequently heard traditional carols. The program will also feature gems of the Renaissance from such luminaries as Morales and Guerrero, and the MCE will open the concert with the celebrated O Magnum Mysterium by the most famous Spanish composer of the era, Tomas Luis de Victoria.

The Manhattan Choral Ensemble (MCE) is a 40-voice community-based choir dedicated to the passionate performance of an international and historically varied repertoire. In celebration of New York City’s rich and diverse heritage, the MCE performs in historic New York spaces and creates concert events in partnership with the city's cultural organizations. The MCE also fosters the musical life of the city through innovative commissioning projects focused on New York City composers.

Make time during your holiday preparations to join us for Manhattan Choral Ensemble’s only Connecticut appearance.
