Meredith Hall, La Nef, Sylvain Bergeron and baroque ensemble “Apollo’s Fire” come together to perform A Celtic Christmas Vespers on period instruments as Jeannette Sorrell conducts. \u00a0This is a CD and DVD set.<\/p>\n

“The ancient Celts celebrated the Winter Solstice and the coming of light and hope. \u00a0Echoes of paganism still resounded in the 13th century, when faithful Scots sang the Vespers of St. Kentigern, Patron Saint of Glasgow. \u00a0This colourful celebration of Celtic artistic traditions interweaves selections from the medieval Scottish Vespers with ancient pagan carols, joyous fiddle tunes, and Irish dances.”<\/p>\n
