So gleams the waking sun when the shepherd,
wet with the dew of the dawn of the day, considers it.
— Seneca the Younger

In collaboration with Baroque Music Montana, we present a Holiday program that draws relationships between 21st century music and that of the German Baroque. Beginning with a set of Lutheran Advent cantatas and culminating with a contemporary cantata based on plays by the Greek philosopher Seneca, we welcome in the Holiday season in style and bring together two of Montana's most exciting performing arts organizations.
