The festive evening will unite the bright sound of the choir, the elegance of the harp, and the grandeur of the organ. The program includes the Christmas oratorio by Saint-Saëns and iconic versions of Ave Maria, full of lyricism and tenderness. This is a musical confession of love for Christmas, where each chord seems filled with light and hope. Christmas has inspired composers for centuries. The bright holiday has become an occasion for creating some of the most expressive works, which still fill the halls with a special sound today. On this evening, the St. Petersburg Singing Chapel will perform a festive program that includes landmark compositions of European academic music dedicated to Christmas. The central piece will be the oratorio by Camille Saint-Saëns-a work in which the organ, choir, and solo parts are masterfully intertwined. The complex yet sincere musical fabric is created under the impression of the legacies of Bach and Handel. The oratorio is filled with soft light, anticipation of a miracle, and subtle Christmas reverence. From the very first chords, it creates a sense of peace and spirituality that lingers with listeners long after the final chord. The program will continue with a musical cycle united by the theme of Ave Maria. On stage, versions created by Leoncavallo, Mendelssohn, Bach-Gounod, Grechaninov, Liszt, and Donizetti will be performed. These compositions, diverse in style but united in spirit, transform the concert into a contemplative journey-from joyful prayer to touching confession. The concert will feature organist Farida Nurulloeva, harpist Ekaterina Miron, and the Chapel Choir under the direction of Nikolai Kurbatov. The joint performance unites voice, instrument, and space, turning the evening into a musical revelation. This program is addressed to all who seek beauty, tranquility, and deep meanings. It offers not a fireworks display, but silence; not noise, but light. And in this lies its true power.
