O Nata Lux: Polyfoon brings heavenly sounds in dark times

In this period of short days and long nights, the vocal ensemble Polyfoon offers a beacon of light with their Christmas program "O Nata Lux". This concert promises a musical journey through the centuries, from the 15th to the 21st century, with a focus on Advent and Christmas music that will warm the heart and soul.

A program full of contrasts

The repertoire of "O Nata Lux" is carefully compiled to take the listener on a journey through music history. From the Renaissance sounds of Thomas Tallis to the contemporary compositions of Arvo Pärt, James MacMillan, Morten Lauridsen and John Tavener, the program offers a rich variety of styles and emotions.

Venues with character

The concerts take place at two unique locations, each with their own atmosphere and acoustics:

• Sint-Walburgakerk, Meldert: On Saturday, December 14, 2024 at 6:00 PM, visitors can enjoy the intimate setting of this charming little church.
• Sint-Baafskerk, Aardenburg: The stately church in the Dutch Aardenburg provides the setting for the concert on Sunday, December 15, 2024 at 4:00 PM.

Both venues contribute to the special Christmas atmosphere that Polyfoon wants to create with their music.

More than just music

"O Nata Lux", which means "Light born from Light", is more than just a title. The ensemble aims to literally and figuratively bring light with their heavenly sounds during this period, often experienced as somber. The combination of centuries-old and contemporary compositions creates a program that is both familiar and surprising.
