Join us for this year's Christmas Revels featuring some of our
favorite artists plus a special performance by cellist Yo-Yo Ma! For
the first time in 50 years, the annual Christmas Revels will not be
celebrated live in Harvard's historic Sanders Theatre. The shortest
day will come, and the year will die - but as Revels fans across
country know, that is never the end of the story! For this
extraordinary year we are creating a unique, virtual Revels — a
cornucopia of music, dance, song, and ritual from our richly recorded
archives, spanning half a century and half the globe. This December, a
small band of performers will walk into an empty theater to fulfill
the promise of …. "people singing, to keep the year alive," as
stipulated in Susan Cooper's poem, "The Shortest Day." They will be
joined by two stalwart audience members who have been present since
the first Christmas Revels in 1971: the marble statues of James Otis
(Paula Plum) and Josiah Quincy (Richard Snee). James and Josiah
remember every song, every dance, and every "Welcome Yule!" and are
quite excited to share their vivid memories with us!
