Rembrandt Chamber Musicians, Chicago’s premiere ensemble focused on classical and adventurous new chamber musical works, will hold its annual holiday concert, Holiday Baroque, live at 3 p.m. Sunday, December 5 at Northwestern University’s Alice Millar Chapel. The concert will also be streamed on their YouTube channel.

Alice Millar is renowned for resonant acoustics perfectly suited to the sounds of the Baroque repertoire, and for its beautiful stained-glass windows fashioned 50 years ago this year by master artisan Benoît Gilsoul. This year’s Holiday Baroque concert features works of Corelli, Charpentier, Vivaldi and Bach, classics that surely capture the spirit of the season.

Longtime Rembrandt ensemble members John Macfarlane, Carol Cook and Calum Cook will be joined by some of the ensembles most frequent collaborators and some of Chicago’s finest musicians. Guest artists include soprano Josefien Stoppelenburg, harpsichordist Stephen Alltop, Chicago Symphony Orchestra Assistant Concertmaster violinist Yuan-Qing Yu, CSO Assistant Principal Cello Kenneth Olsen, and Lyric Opera Orchestra violinists Kathleen Brauer and Ann Palen and bassist Ian Hallas.

The program consists of:

BACH: Prelude and Fugue in G Major, BWV 541  
MONTEVERDI: Laudate dominum in sanctis eius, SV 287          
Marco UCCELLINI: Aria sopra “La Bergamasca”
CORELLI: Concerto Grosso in G Minor, “Christmas Concerto”
BACH: Preludio from Violin Partita No.3 in E Major, BWV 1006             
CHARPENTIER: In nativitatem Domini canticum, H. 416: Nuit
VIVALDI: The Four Seasons, Violin Concerto in F minor, RV 297, “Winter”
