Corelli's Christmas Concerto evokes the stillness of a Baroque Christmas Eve, closing with a tender "Pastorale" that's full of calm and light. World premiere: Be among the first to hear Roderick Williams' new choral work, Quem Pastores Laudavere (Him Whom Shepherds Praised), which was written especially for Philharmonia. The U.S. premiere of Caroline Shaw's The Holdfast offers shimmering harmonies and celebrates resilience, connection, and the beauty of holding on through change."
