La Nativité du Seigneur - Free Concert

Sunday, December 19 - 4:00 PM


The next Music on Park Street will feature a performance of Olivier Messiaen’s monumental organ work, La Nativité du Seigneur (The Nativity of the Savior).  The concert will be held on December 19 at 4:00 at First Presbyterian Church, 500 Park Street.  Messiaen’s unique musical language and spiritual depth combined to create some of the most influential works of the 20th Century.  This nine-movement work focuses on all aspects of Advent and Christmas, with movements portraying the primary characters of Mary, the shepherds, angels and wise men, as well as movements celebrating Christ being willing to accept suffering, and God being present among us. No charge for admission.

During construction, parking is available in the lower lot accessible via 7th street.  There are a very limited number of accessible parking spaces in the upper lot for the walking-impaired.  Masks are required.  If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact Jeremy Thompson at jthompson@firstprescharlottesville.org or the church office at (434) 296-7131.
