Vox Femina Presents HOLIDAY VOICES 12/12

For the first time ever, the Los Angeles based, but internationally known Vox Femina is offering a holiday concert. Far from the typical holiday fare, however is an event that will present the unique Vox perspective on the season of love, renewal, and peace. Holiday Voices will feature carols and lullabies, both in English and Spanish. The audience will join Vox and those who were there on the journey along the road to Bethlehem to the simple stable that witnessed an event that changed the world. The repertoire will include music of Benjamin Britten, Conrad Susa, Z. Randall Stroope, Roger Bourland, Paul Carey and Mack Wilberg. The evening will also include various sets: "Voices of Tradition," "Voices of Peace and Hope," "Voices of Vox," and concluding with "Sugar and Spice." With holiday favorites for all, as well as a newly commissioned work written for Vox, the audience will be treated to a spirited vocal setting of the instrumental "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" from "The Nutcracker" and the holiday favorite "Santa Baby" in true Vox Femina style.

Vox Femina Los Angeles, is a women's choral ensemble dedicated to the performance of quality choral literature with an emphasis on music by women composers.

In the past 12 years, Vox has established itself as one of the preeminent women's choruses in the United States with a demonstrated ability to perform highly eclectic repertoire, some of which can be heard on several recordings.
