On the third day of Christmas…

As we understand the story, the Wise Men arrived at the cradle, a few days after the birth of Jesus.  

Alas, like them, we are also a little delayed.

The music is done, the visuals are splendid. You have never seen Old North look so beautiful. Unfortunately for our own journey certain essential files were delayed as we were hoping to arrive by Christmas day, were en route to the crêche.

We are disappointed, for us and for you.  

Our full length video will now be available on the third day of Christmas, December 27, at 4pm, rather than the first day, as we had planned.

How can we make it good for you? Well, our Director Emeritus Joel Cohen is here for you today with an informal talk on how Americans of earlier generations made music for the holiday. And you will also find below a sneak preview excerpt: a performance of the magnificent Southern carol Star in the East. For the rest, in the spirit of peace and goodwill, we humbly request a couple of days of forbearance on your part.

The complete video, once online, will be available to ticket holders for unlimited viewing and hearing through January 10. 

With our deepest apologies, and our continued wishes for a happy and blessed Christmas week,

Anne Azéma
Artistic Director
