Winter Holiday: Christmas in Latvia
Saturday, December 6, 2025, 2000 - 2200
The Seattle Choral Company (SCC), led by their founding director, Freddie Coleman, begins their 44th season with “Winter Holiday: Christmas in Latvia” - a holiday concert of music for choir and orchestra featuring works by four distinguished Latvian composers.
A Latvian Christmas is unlike any other-a luminous blend of Christian traditions and ancient pagan customs. The holiday honors the birth of Christ with church services, carols, and festive meals, while also keeping alive centuries-old solstice rituals: lively mummers’ parades, fortune-telling, and the burning of logs to drive out darkness and welcome the returning sun. The result is a season steeped in magic, warmth, and deep cultural heritage.
This program invites you on a musical journey through Latvia’s Christmas spirit, featuring four works that weave together sacred devotion and folk tradition.
And, as always, the concert will conclude with a glowing candlelight finale-a tradition that fills the hall with peace, beauty, and holiday wonder.
