Colorado Vocal Arts Ensemble presents WINTERSONG

Combining music and spoken word in the splendor of Shove Chapel by candlelight, this award-winning event has become a cherished holiday tradition. The eclectic programming honors old and new in the choral art, featuring music from medieval to modern, both sacred and secular.

Through the interweaving of poetry, story, and song, Wintersong explores mystery, timelessness, the juxtaposition of light and dark, and our spiritual connection to the natural world. Featured on this year's program:

• Latin motets by Josquin des Prez, Michael Praetorius, and Frances Poulenc
• Epiphany, an electrifying work by Judith Bingham which features organist Deke Polifka
• Eric Whitacre's luminous Sainte-Chappelle, inspired by the stained-glass windows of the famous Gothic chapel in Paris
• Songs of the season
