About
Part of Chamber Music Across America
Renowned for their unearthly vocal blend and virtuosic ensemble singing, the four women of Anonymous 4 combine historical scholarship with contemporary performance intuition to create their magical sound. For this performance, they mix this magic with the spirit of Christmas, offering chants and carols that will transport listeners to a time before hustle and bustle co-opted the holiday season--the Christmas music of an age lit by candlelight.
Anonymous 4 has performed on major concert series and at festivals throughout North America, Europe, and Asia, including appearances at Tanglewood, Wolf Trap, BBC Proms, Edinburgh Festival, and the Brisbane Biennial. Enchanted both by their live performances and by their 18 recordings of medieval, contemporary, and American music, Anonymous 4's listeners have bought nearly two million copies of the group's albums.
