Concert de Noël à Notre-Dame de Paris

Across centuries and borders, Christmas has inspired an immense repertoire of songs and music celebrating the birth of Christ.

Drawn from folk traditions, from the liturgy or from learned composition, these works express in turn the joy, peace, contemplation and hope that accompany this universal festival.

Bringing together the different ensembles of the Maîtrise Notre-Dame de Paris, this concert offers a musical journey in which great classics of the Christmas repertoire sit alongside contemporary choral pieces and traditional melodies from diverse cultures.

Contributions from the grand organ and the choir organ enrich this sonic mosaic, while works by Whitacre, Lauridsen, Holst or Rutter converse with songs passed down from generation to generation.

Over the course of the evening, the audience will also be invited to join their voices with those of the choirs to share some of the great Christmas refrains.

A warm and luminous musical celebration that invites everyone to rediscover the spirit of Christmas at the heart of Notre-Dame de Paris cathedral.
