Nota Bene warmly invites you to join us for a special Christmas concert, featuring vibrant music from Latin America. Come and experience the lively folk traditions and rhythms as we perform carols and songs from Argentina, Puerto Rico, and other Spanish-speaking countries across the Americas.
Our programme's highlight is Ariel Ramírez’s Navidad Nuestra, a folk interpretation of the nativity story, rooted in the rhythms and traditions of Argentina. Each part of the story is expressed through distinctive regional styles, and we’re excited to have tenor soloist Theo Moolenaar join us in this beautiful work.
We’re also delighted to welcome guitarist Jake Church, percussionist Steve Swanson, and harpsichordist Heather Easting, who will bring an authentic Latin American feel to the performance.
As always, we’ll share some of your favourite Christmas carols for a sing-along,
and invite you to stay for a cuppa and a bite to eat after the concert.
We look forward to celebrating with you!
