Beat the cold winter with heartwarming music and good storytelling. Come hear the Baltimore Consort in "In Angel's Wede" - based on the life of Mary Queen of Scots, and features music that illustrates the different periods in her life.

In addition to Scottish music this program incorporates music from the French court Mary would have heard in her childhood, English music from the end of her life, a short detour to the Italy of her murdered secretary/lutenist (and papal spy?) David Rizzio, and an English piece by William Byrd commemorating her martyrdom, titled "In Angel's Wede." Captivating narration is provided by Emmy Award winner (and television and radio personality) Robert Aubry Davis.

Tickets are on sale right now. Contact the box office at 443-518-1500

HCC Singers & HCC-Bain Center Senior Choir Concert
Sunday, December 8, 2024 at 4:00 p.m.
Smith Theatre

Come find out what the singers are all about. Here is a little description to pique your interest: "Frank Sinatra was the King of Cool, but a Catholic when no-one was looking; Antonio Vivaldi was an Italian priest (most of the time) with a choir that had female basses; Pärt Uusberg is a mystic in a Western European country that somehow finds itself east of much of Russia. They may all have identity issues, but they know how to celebrate in music - the season, God and even music itself. It's Christmas, it's Hanukkah, it's winter - and it's time to celebrate. Let us be your Bridge Over Troubled Water, and bring you a little warmth and joy as the winter creeps in!"
