    Viva la Musica presents its Holiday Concert for 2008. Their repertoire includes Benjamin Britten's Ceremony of Carols, Pergolesi Durante's Magnificat, and Ariel Ramirez's Navidad Nuestra. Durante's Magnificat is an Italian 18th Century Baroque musical depiction of the Canticle of the Virgin Mary that percolates with warmth and splendor. Benjamin Britten's A Ceremony of Carols, the famous Christmas piece arranged for choir and harp, conjures nativity scenes set in Medieval England, by turns mysterious and exuberant. Navidad Nuestra, an Hispanic-American musical drama of the nativity of Christ, is infused with irresistible South American rhythms. The Masquers Carol by Bay Area composer Richard Evans will be featured in its premiere performance. A selection of much-loved traditional carols close the program. Viva la Musica is pleased to announce that the Hillsdale High School Chamber Singers and their Director Mark Fish will collaborate in these performances. A pre-concert talk will be given half an hour before the performance.
