Under the baton of João Carlos Martins, the evening begins with Gregorian Chant, with a special appearance by tenor Jean William, and moves through different periods in the history of music, including the Renaissance, Baroque, Romanticism, and 20th-century music. Highlights include Bransle de la Torche by Michael Praetorius, Jesus, Joy of Man's Desiring by Johann Sebastian Bach, and Waltz No. 2 by Dmitri Shostakovich.
One of the central moments of the concert will be the performance of the Nutcracker Suite by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, featuring four of its best-known movements: Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, Trepak, Chinese Dance, and Waltz of the Flowers. Originally composed for ballet, the work has become one of the greatest musical symbols of the Christmas season.
The repertoire also brings classical music closer to popular and traditional hits, with a Christmas medley and songs such as Jingle Bells Rock, Hallelujah, Amazing Grace, once again with Jean William, and What a Wonderful World.
The program also includes a Tribute to Ennio Morricone, celebrating the work of the Italian composer who left a mark on film history with soundtracks that became classics. To close the evening in a celebratory mood, the Bachiana performs Silent Night, one of the most emblematic Christmas melodies.
