The critically acclaimed, Seattle-based Tudor Choir, directed by Doug Fullington, celebrates the season with “IN DULCI JUBILO: A Renaissance Christmas”- a holiday concert of festive carols and motets from around Western Europe.

England, Spain, Germany, France, and Italy are represented with motets by Palestrina, Praetorius, Victoria, Tallis, and others, sharing the program with traditional tunes and their Renaissance roots.

Hear some of your best-loved carols in their original settings and connect with an earlier era and all its wonderful traditions of holiday music-making.
