New York Polyphony – Holiday Candlelight Concert presented by The Georgetown Concert Series

November 24, 2018 @ 5:00 pm - 6:30 pm UTC

New York Polyphony is regarded as one of the finest vocal chamber ensembles in the world. Praised for a “rich, natural sound that’s larger and more complex than the sum of its parts” (National Public Radio), the four men apply a distinctly modern touch to repertoire that ranges from austere medieval melodies to cutting-edge contemporary compositions. Their dedication to innovative programming, as well as a focus on rare and rediscovered works, has not only earned New York Polyphony two GRAMMY nominations and wide acclaim, but also helped to move early music into the classical mainstream.

The holiday candlelight concert, Sing thee Nowell, offers an intimate meditation on the Christmas season. This program delivers a spellbinding experience spanning nine centuries of music, featuring New York Polyphony’s signature fusion of historically informed performance of traditional works with new compositions.
A holiday reception follows the performance.

“…four male singers of superb musicianship and vocal allure.” – The New Yorker
