The Waverly Consort
The Christmas Story

Each holiday season, the Waverly Consort’s thirteen-member ensemble, under the direction of Michael Jaffee, performs The Christmas Story on tour. The program includes processionals, antiphons, hymns, and Mass compositions from the tenth to the fifteenth century and features both vocal and instrumental music. These compositions, arranged as a narrative, evoke the liturgical calendar for Advent and Christmastide. Rooted in music manuscripts and illuminated miniatures of the Middle Ages, The Christmas Story premiered at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in 1980 and returns every December to The Cloisters, its only New York City venue.

THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT.

* This concert is presented in The Fuentidueña Chapel at The Cloisters. All seats are unreserved.
