Cantus at the Mansion: Songs of the Season

Featuring Cantus and The Choir School of Newport County

Newport Classical presents a modern twist on a timeless Christmas tradition with Cantus’s Lessons and Carols for Our Time. The acclaimed low-voice ensemble, known for their trademark warmth and blend, returns to Newport after an enchanting, sold-out performance in 2023. Perfect for families and classical music aficionados alike, this hour-long concert beautifully blends poetry with sacred and secular music by reimagining the beloved Nine Lessons and Carols format made famous by the Choir of King’s College at the University of Cambridge. With a special appearance by the Professional Choristers of The Choir School of Newport County, this promises to be a moving holiday experience that celebrates the spirit of the season.

This concert is made possible through Cynthia Sinclair’s generous philanthropic support
of The Choir School of Newport County.

Cantus
The “engaging” (New Yorker)  men’s vocal ensemble Cantus is widely known for its trademark warmth and blend, innovative programming and engaging performances of music ranging from the Renaissance to the 21st century.  The Washington Post  has hailed the Cantus sound as having both “exalting finesse” and “expressive power” and refers to the “spontaneous grace” of its music making.

Commissioned by Nevada silver heiress Theresa Fair Oelrichs in 1899, architect Stanford White modeled Rosecliff after the Grand Trianon, the garden retreat of French kings at Versailles. After the house was completed in 1902, at a reported cost of $2.5 million, Mrs. Oelrichs hosted fabulous entertainments here, including a fairy tale dinner and a party featuring famed magician Harry Houdini.

Free parking is available at the venue, including handicap spaces. Rosecliff is partially accessible with elevator in service.
