Eleutherios is proud to present a festive programme of choral music, charting the familiar nativity story in a series of musical images. We'll open the covers of these triptychs to reveal the glories of music by Sheppard, Handl, Howells, Tabakova, and others, telling the Christmas story through inspiring sequences of sound.

Magi, guided only by the light of a star. Shepherds, terrified at the apparition of angels. Animals, speechless witnesses to a miraculous birth. The characters of the nativity are familiar, and each has attracted music and poetry of mystery and power. Our programme visits each of these characters, eavesdropping or commenting, offering musical ‘triptychs’ drawn from the sixteenth century to the present day.

The Christmas story in inspiring sequences of sound, from the country’s newest professional choral ensemble.
