10 p.m. Candlelight Services with The Motet Choir and Orchestra

Special Music, 10 p.m. only:
J.S. Bach’s Christmas Oratorio, Part 3
The Motet Choir returns to J.S. Bach’s Christmas Oratorio, first performed in 1734. The choir and orchestra will perform Part 3 of the work, which is a cantata for the third day of Christmas. In this cantata, we see the shepherds coming to find Mary, Joseph, and the newborn Jesus. Having come to the manger, they joyously depart for their fields, praising God.
