Christmas at Emmanuel

in collaboration with Project STEP

December 15, 2024, 4.00 pm

Ryan Turner, conductor

Ring in the holiday season with traditions both old and new as we celebrate with uplifting and glorifying works of J.S. Bach setting the stage for the New England premiere of Evan Williams’ Little Mass for Christmas. Start something bright and new with Emmanuel Music this winter.

Emmanuel continues its collaboration with local organization Project STEP, which provides talented young musicians that identify with historically underrepresented groups in classical music with comprehensive music instruction. Project STEP envisions a world in which the classical music profession reflects the racial and ethnic diversity of our communities.
