Virtual Czech Holiday Celebration

A holiday sing-along and a film about the making and presentation of the American premiere of Georgius Zrunek’s festive 18th century tri-lingual Christmas Mass. Introduction by Professor Michael Beckerman of New York University. The film features the Czech early music group Ritornello and NYU collegiate choristers as they prepare the delightful Zrunek work for concert, merging folk and spiritual traditions in surprising ways.

Join us also for a spirited sing-along with “Old World” Czech carols and “New World” favorites. We are pleased to present this program on December 6-St.Nicholas Day-symbolically marking the beginning of the holiday season for many in the Old World.

This event was organized by the Dvorak American Heritage Association, with support of the BBLA.
