Susanna Phillips to Headline Musica Sacra’s ‘Classic for Christmas’ Concert

By Francisco Salazar

Musica Sacra is set to present “Classics for Christmas: Mozart, Bach & Beethoven” on Dec 18, 2024.

The concert will be held at Carnegie Hall with Music Director Kent Tritle leading the festive program.

The showcase will include Mozart’s “Exsultate, jubilate” sung by soprano Susanna Phillips, and Beethoven’s Choral Fantasy for solo piano, chorus, and orchestra with pianist Simone Dinnerstein.

There will also be selections from Bach’s Christmas Oratorio, and Christmas motets by Biebl, Poulenc, James Bassi, and Morten Lauridsen.

In a statement, Tritle said, “With Musica Sacra joining the New York Philharmonic for its annual performances of Messiah this year, we were presented with an opportunity to expand not only our own offerings at Carnegie Hall, but the holiday music choices in the city! This is exuberant, joyful music, and we look forward to celebrating at Carnegie with Susanna, Simone, and our audience.”
