The Waverly Consort: The Christmas Story

December 1, 2009

The Waverly Consort is one of the leading ensembles specializing in the performance of Medieval and Renaissance music. Drawing on a repertoire of several centuries, the group has long been an audience favorite in its home city of New York, and annual tours include sold-out performances at major concert halls coast to coast. In the spirit and pageantry of medieval church dramas and mystery plays, eight singers and five instrumentalists playing reproductions of medieval instruments recount the events of Christmas—a program combining solemn and festive music, processions and simple gestures to dramatize the Biblical narrative as conveyed by music manuscripts and illuminated miniatures of the Middle Ages.
