Early Music Vancouver is ringing in some changes to its annual Christmas offering. After 11 years of Festive Bach Cantatas, devoted to works by J.S. Bach, the repertoire is opening up to different composers and styles. Praetorius Christmas Vespers, the concert for 2015, explores the beginnings of Baroque in northern Europe with works by another German master organist and composer, the prolific Michael Praetorius (1571–1621).
