Christmas Concert of the UCP Choir
Sunday, December 12, 2021 - 16:00
Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Luz
The Universidade Católica Portuguesa Choir joins Staccato Choir for a Christmas concert on December 12, at 4 p.m., at the church of Nossa Senhora da Luz, in Carnide.
It will be a musical journey through different sound eras, starting with traditional Iberian music, with Menino dormindo and El Noi de la Mare. This will be followed by the musical pieces Here I am Lord and For the beauty of the earth.
The lighter, jazzy ambience of Joshua's Blues, Run Shepherds and Mary had a baby transport us to more recent times, where the Christmas theme is expressed in complex rhythms, modern and global soundscapes.
"In these times of doubt and difficulty, let us do as the shepherds did in Bethlehem...let us run to see the child lying in the straws, in simplicity and in the expectation of the universal brotherhood felt and evoked in these and other musical works we will be presenting," invites Sérgio Peixoto, artistic director of the UCP choir.
