On Dec. 13 and 14, the musicians and choristers of the Orchestre symphonique de Québec and mezzo- soprano Marie-André Mathieu, directed by Quebec conductor Roseline Blain, presented Noël en Choeur, an invitation to celebrate the festive season with the grand classics of Christmas, such as Gustave Holst’s “On Christmas Day,” Karl Jenkins’ “Gloria in excelsis Deo,” Leroy Anderson’s cheery “Christmas Festival,” and traditional English carols such as “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing,” “Joy to the World,” “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” and of course, the “Hallelujah” chorus from Handel’s Messiah.
