After learning that she will bear a son, the Virgin Mary offered a hymn of praise now known as the Magnificat. In 1723 J. S. Bach set these words to music, mixing jubilant choruses with poignant solos.
Ars Lyrica Houston's holiday offering pairs Bach’s beloved Magnificat with a coronation anthem Handel composed just a few years later and a concerto for three trumpets by their contemporary and good friend George Philipp Telemann.
Featured artists include The Moores School Concert Chorale under director Anthony Maglione, featuring alto Cecilia Duarte and tenor Thomas O’Neill.
The program is the first of two 2026/27 collaborations with the Moores School of Music, University of Houston.
