It’s getting to be that time of year---when other schools are already home enjoying holiday festivities, and you’re stuck in Butler listening to Pandora Christmas stations on repeat, counting the hours until you too can partake in the holiday cheer. But why not take a study break with some Christmas music of a different kind?
Tonight, Miller Theatre presents renowned choral group The Tallis Scholars, performing Songs of Mary: A Christmas Celebration at the Church of St. Mary the Virgin (located at 145 W. 46th Street between 6th and 7th avenues). The program will include four different settings of the Magnificat (songs dedicated to Mary), along with other pieces based on favorite Christmas texts. Almost all of the songs are written by modern composers, including Arvo Part and Benjamin Britten.
