Two Exciting Christmas Events Coming to Charleston!
Hey, Charleston! The holiday season is just around the corner, and we’ve got some exciting news to share that’s bound to get you into the Christmas spirit. The Taylor Festival Choir is stepping up to the plate with not one, but two spectacular Christmas events, both happening at the beloved Circular Congregational Church at 150 Meeting Street.
Get Ready for a Celtic and Classical Christmas!
First up, on December 14 at 7 PM, join the Taylor Festival Choir for their annual Celtic and Classical Christmas concert. This year’s concert is shaping up to be extra special as the choir will be joined by world-renowned Uillean Piper Ivan Goff and the Palmetto Youth Choir. It’s a unique blend of traditions that you won’t want to miss!
Expect a delightful mix of intriguing new repertoire along with your favorite holiday classics. This concert promises to evoke the warm and cozy spirit of Christmas through the enchanting sounds of both Celtic and classical music. Plus, if you’re looking for the perfect outing to celebrate the holiday season with family and friends, this is it!
Yuletide Madrigal Feast – A Charleston Treasure!
But wait, there’s more! On December 16 at 7 PM, prepare yourselves for a true Charleston tradition that’s back by popular demand—the inaugural Yuletide Madrigal Feast. This event has been an essential part of our festive calendar for years and is something that director Rob Taylor has eagerly anticipated since his retirement from the College of Charleston in 2022.
Imagine the scene: ancient English carols sung by candlelight, filled with laughter and joyous toasts, all while you enjoy a scrumptious multi-course meal complete with the festive favorites of wassail and wine. And let’s not forget the talented singers, all dressed in Renaissance costume—it’s bound to be a feast for the senses!
Rob Taylor Shares His Excitement
Rob Taylor himself expressed his excitement about this year’s lineup, saying, “Christmas is our favorite time of the year! And Charleston is such the perfect city to produce these two wonderful events.” You can truly feel the passion in his words as he reflects on his time producing the Madrigal Feast and the joy it brings to many.
“There is nothing quite like it,” he continued. “The Yuletide Madrigal Feast is something I have missed terribly. Classical and Celtic music reside side-by-side in my household, and creating a holiday concert concept incorporating both has been a labor of love for many years now.” How lovely does that sound?
