I was honored to be featured as a soloist on this beautiful Holiday Brass and Choral Concert with the Music of the Baroque Holiday Brass, and Conductor Nicholas Kramer. What a joyful way to lead into Christmas, and honor Christ, our Lord and Savior.
Here was a beautiful review written up by Chicago Classical Review, and here are a couple of tidbits about yours truly: "Still, Gabrieli’s “Omnes gentes plaudite,” scored for antiphonal choruses and brass in the spirit of Venice’s Saint Mark Basilica, provided a rousing punctuation mark to the night’s second set, with declamatory chorus lines bouncing off the gleaming brass consort, and soprano Rachel Sparrow fulsomely soaring in her solo moments." " The chorus processed into the sanctuary singing the swaying strains of the traditional “In dulci jubilo,” which was also heard in a version by Robert Lucas Pearsall, whose 1856 death made him the night’s most contemporary composer. Pearsall’s evocative arrangement is in a 19th-century harmonic idiom, and featured a supplely blended quartet of soprano Rachel Sparrow, alto Fox, tenor Samuel Rosner, and bass Ian Morris.
