**NEW EVENTS CALENDAR COMING MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 9**
Our new Member Events Calendar will be installed during the afternoon of Monday, September 9. The EMA website will be temporarily unavailable during this time. Any events submitted prior to the installation will need to be resubmitted to the new calendar. Members will receive an email with instructions for the new submission form, but we believe you’ll find it very intuitive. Thank you for your patience throughout this process.

Bach’s Christmas Oratorio
December 15 @ 3:00 pm - 6:00 pm EST
$35 – $99![](https://www.earlymusicamerica.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/Christmas.jpg)
In what has become the Washington Bach Consort’s signature work, you can enjoy this performance in the spectacular Music Center at Strathmore for what The Washington Post praises as a “splendid” and “joyful” rendering of Bach’s Christmas Oratorio. Of all seasonal offerings, this work is uniquely focused on the complete story of the Nativity. The Bach Consort is one of very few ensembles in the nation to present this beloved European tradition annually.
Nola Richardson, soprano
Meg Bragle, alto
Gene Stenger, tenor and Evangelist
Paul Max Tipton, bass
Mary Ann Gardner and Sally Wells, underwriters
Special Support from William B. Munier & Laurinda L. Rohn, Helen H. McConnell, Margarita Brose, Tamera Luzzatto & Alphie Fair, Richard & Beth Ayres, Robert L. & Suzanne R. McDowell, and Shannon & Jim Davis.
The EMA Member Concerts & Events Calendar is for time-sensitive events, such as in-person concerts, livestreaming performances or video premieres, and live online events such as webinars. Events hosted by licensed or incorporated organizations/ensembles must be posted from their EMA Organization Member account. Videos available on-demand (temporarily or permanently) should not be submitted as multi-day events. Please submit Early Music News & Press Releases about these or other activities.
Highlights from this calendar are included in the weekly E-Notes email newsletter (Tuesdays). Selections are made based on variety of event types and geographic regions.
EMA does not share non-EMA events on our social media platforms.
