Magnificat and Majesty Francesco Durante Magnificat Camargo-Guarnieri Missa Diligite Schubert Magnificat in C Mozart Coronation Mass, K. 317 Norwalk Concert Hall Sunday, December 14, 2025 • 4pm Eternal Light Lili Boulanger Psalm 24 Nadia Boulanger Lux Aeterna John Rutter Gloria Peteris Vasks Da Pacem Domine Leonard Bernstein Chichester Psalms Norwalk Concert Hall Saturday, March 28, […]
Join us for Eternal Light, a radiant choral journey exploring peace, praise, and spiritual reflection through some of the most expressive music of the 20th and 21st centuries.
From the shimmering invocation of Nadia Boulanger’s Lux Aeterna to the powerful rhythms of John Rutter’s jubilant Gloria, this program offers a moving experience of musical light and serenity.
We begin with the bold and stirring Psalm 24 by Lili Boulanger, one of the first great female composers of sacred music, whose intensity and conviction shine through every note. The quest for peace continues with Pēteris Vasks’ Da Pacem Domine, a meditative plea for inner and global harmony by Latvia’s most revered contemporary composer.
The evening culminates with Leonard Bernstein’s Chichester Psalms—a vibrant, theatrical, and deeply heartfelt setting of Hebrew texts that only Bernstein could create, blending Broadway flair with spiritual depth.

More infoThis is the second time I’ve heard FCC perform Carmina Burana, and last evening certainly lived up to my memory of how well it was performed the last time. It is such a difficult piece rhythmically that I am impressed with the ease with which FCC went through it. In my opinion, there is nothing better than a wonderful night of great music to start the holiday season, so thank you so much!
