About the Event
NOVA, NOVA : Christmas Star ~ mixed voices and instruments
EM/NY continues its annual holiday tradition in the grand Cathedral of Saint John the Divine with this scintillating program of seasonal carols and motets from the Middle Ages and Renaissance. Like the astronomical nova which illuminates celestial bodies, the "nova" (new) transition from the massive Romanesque to airy Gothic tracery served both as a symbolic and literal transformation from dark to light. The brilliant, kaleidoscopic array of colors and light cast through stained glass windows into the new vaulted and buttressed spaces of Gothic architecture also permeates this richly-textured music of Ars nova Europe. Perennially stellar performances - order tickets early before shows sell out! (75 minutes - no intermission)
