A Seraphic Fire Christmas
Thirteen of the most astounding vocal artists in the world are led by the popular guest conductor Anthony Trecek-King. “The thing that I do well is to relentlessly extract every piece of emotion out of the music,” said Trecek-King. “Every note has to be oozing with meaning. With Seraphic Fire, you can do amazing things because you have some of the best voices in the country.”
Program includes:
Jesus Christ the Apple Tree — Elizabeth Poston
O Come All Ye Faithful — John Francis Wade
Silent Night — Franz Xaver Gruber
Ave Maria — R. Nathaniel Dett
The Three Kings — Jonathan Dove
Solstice — Taylor Scott Davis
In addition to all the traditional favorites, Trecek-King provided insight about some new pieces: “The Ave Maria is a familiar text, but it's an arrangement by a composer of African descent. The Flight is a piece that I am really interested in performing. It connects Jesus and His birth with immigration and related issues. It’s important to program music that is familiar or easy for the audience to grasp, and then challenge the audience on the other hand. This type of musical journey is what the Seraphic Fire audience is accustomed to.”
