Meet Me for Noche Buena
Music by Saunder Choi
Text by Aileen Cassinetto
“Meet Me for Noche Buena” continues to be part of our holiday traditions and will be coming to the Bay Area and New York for the first time next month! It will be part of LALÒ ensemble‘s “Panunuluyan”, the Peninsula Women’s Chorus‘ “Cultivating Hope”, and the Young New Yorkers’ Chorus‘ “Holiday Modulations”. I’m looking forward to joining my friend and favorite composer Saunder Choi at Mission Santa Clara on December 14th to talk about Meet Me for Noche Buena’s journey into becoming a beloved Christmas carol.
