SF Classical Voice: “the sky is the limit” for Ragazzi
The San Francisco Classical Voice wrote about our upcoming holiday concerts:
Ragazzi doesn’t rely on traditional Christmas fare alone. No, when Ragazzi presents “Ubi Caritas: Where There Is Love,” the sky is the limit on variety and inclusion. Ragazzi Boys Chorus’s holiday concert series begins Dec 2. The Latin part of the title, “ubi caritas,” (where love is) refers to a church hymn long used as one of the antiphons for the washing of feet on Maundy Thursday, when Jesus celebrated his final Passover. The concert includes four different settings of the ancient plainchant, but the Ragazzi program ranges far beyond the Christian setting. There are also choral works from the Hindu, Jewish, and Muslim faiths, with the boys singing in Hindi, Latin, Urdu, Hebrew, Yoruba, Khemitic…and English.
