Russian New Year's Concerts
​Clarion

The Clarion Choir's performances of Sergei Rachmaninoff's Vespers (All-Night Vigil) sold out last season, have garnered critical praise and also become a fixture for Classical music lovers on New Year's Eve and Day. In keeping with tradition, The Clarion Choir will again perform this beloved masterpiece, generally considered to be Rachmaninoff's greatest choral work. But this time, following the performances, The Clarion Choir and artistic director Steven Fox will record the work for commercial release in 2021.​
