Noel
The concert also features the debut of “A New Year’s Carol,” a stirring new work by Norwegian composer Ola Gjeilo co-commissioned by the Chorus.
Performances take place at New England Conservatory’s Jordan Hall on Dec.14, 19, 20, and 21. Tickets are available now.
Noel features the world premiere performance of “A New Year’s Carol,” by composer Ola Gjeilo, who relocated from his native Norway to study composition at the Juilliard School of Music in 2001.
The song is a hymn to the cycle of the seasons and the growth we experience as the wheel of the year keeps turning.
Other selections include “Ave Maria,” “Star of Wonder,” and a selection of five classic Christmas carols and holiday tunes re-imagined in the styles of unlikely composers, such as “What if Steven Sondheim had written ‘Santa Claus is Coming to Town’?” or “What if Jerry Herman had written ‘We Three Kings’?”
“From our elaborately staged opening with “Deck the Halls” to polka dancers, drag queens, and sequined elves, Noel is one of our most theatrical concerts yet,” said Craig Coogan, Executive Director of the Boston Gay Men’s Chorus.
“We’ll perform the most cherished holiday favorites in Act 1.
Then in Act II, we’re going to sprinkle tradition with some glitter.”
