Inspired by the Yule celebrations of ancient Britain and Scandinavia, our 12th Night Yule Concert and Viking Feast is a magical evening of glorious music and merriment, with a real Boar’s Head Procession and copious toasting in honor of the Norse god, Frey. All that is followed by a sumptuous Yule feast of Scandinavian delights.
This year’s 12th Night rings in the New Year with brilliant new carols by Andrew Adams and Howard Helvy.
The solstice dawn is greeted with music by Brian Holmes, Don Compleavit, and the Italian renaissance master, Claudio Monteverdi.
Also featured are the other-worldly sounds of Canada’s Andrew Balfour, with three pieces based on Cree Nation melodies.
Holiday gems from the Baltic and Orpheus’ favorite 12th Night tunes round out this year’s edition of 12th Night.
