A new holiday tradition: experience the "tender and mysterious atmosphere" (New York Times) of David Lang's Pulitzer Prize–winning choral parable, The Little Match Girl Passion, based on the powerful eponymous story by Hans Christian Andersen. Conductor Julian Wachner leads the Grammy–nominated Choir of Trinity Wall Street in a performance that also includes Benjamin Britten's popular A Ceremony of Carols, a euphoric welcome for "this little Babe" of Christmas.
