This year’s incarnation of Christmas with the Charlotte Master Chorale draws from a beautifully eclectic selection of repertoire, from seasonal favorites (“Angels from the Realms of Glory” and “Do You Hear What I Hear?”) and choral classics (Eric Whitacre’s “Lux Aurumque”), to contemporary entries (Kyle Pederson’s “Can We Sing the Darkness to Light”), jazz standards (Duke Ellington’s "Come Sunday”), and fresh re-imaginings of beloved melodies (Christopher Aspaas’s “Poor Wayfarin’ Stranger” and Assistant Conductor Philip Biedenbender’s new arrangement of Mendelssohn’s “Lift Thine Eyes”). Audience members should expect an emotional, experiential journey as the Charlotte Master Chorale literally takes participants from night to light, from darkness to dawn.
