Event
Sun, Nov 29 · 3 PM
The Great Hall, Seattle
Ring in the holiday season with the Byrd Ensemble! The program pairs traditional carols with modern settings of the same source: Praetorius's Lo, How a Rose E'er Blooming alongside Sandström's Es ist ein Ros entsprungen, two settings of the same rose hymn centuries apart. Holst's In the Bleak Midwinter is followed by Gjeilo's arrangement of the same carol. Silent Night arrives first in its original German as Stille Nacht, then again in world-premiere arrangements by Kerensa Briggs and Ēriks Ešen
