On Thursday 17 December the Royal Chapel of the Palace of Versailles hosts one of its weekly Thursday music hearings, this time a Christmas programme repeated from an earlier date. The singers of the Centre de musique baroque de Versailles perform: the youth choir, the Pages and the Chantres, with an organist from the Paris conservatoire, under three conductors. The announced works are French Christmas carols from old manuscripts of Tours and Deslauriers, and Charpentier's Midnight Mass. Admission is free as long as places remain, and the centre gives a telephone number and website for questions. The language is French. The hearing begins at 17:30 and ends at about 19:00, an end-of-day concert in the palace chapel, easy to enjoy alone and to combine with a winter walk through the town.

On Thursday 17 December the Royal Chapel of the Château de Versailles, at the Place d'Armes, hosts a Christmas concert in the weekly Jeudis musicaux series of the Centre de musique baroque de Versailles. In these public auditions the Pages and Chantres, the choir of the centre, perform the great works of the French Baroque repertoire as well as rare or unpublished pieces. For this Christmas concert, repeated from an earlier date, the listing names Fabien Armengaud, Clément Buonomo and Daniel Asensio Nogueira as musical directors, with the youth choir, the Pages and the Chantres, and an organist from the Paris conservatoire at the great organ. The programme features Noëls taken from the manuscripts of Tours and Deslauriers, followed by the Midnight Mass H.9 by Marc-Antoine Charpentier. Entry is free within the limits of available places, and the page is in French. Baroque Christmas music in a royal chapel is a rare treat.

On Thursday 24 December at 22:00 the Chapelle Notre-Dame des Armées, at 4 impasse des Gendarmes in Versailles, hosts Noël des Petits Chanteurs de Saint-Charles, a Christmas Eve celebration sung by the choir of the Petits Chanteurs de Saint-Charles. The listing says the evening features the Midnight Mass by Marc-Antoine Charpentier, together with traditional Noëls, sung during the Christmas Mass. The organ is played by Hélène Nougayrède and the choir is directed by Romain Champion. Entry is free and the page is in French. Because the Mass is the setting, this is a seasonal religious service as much as a concert, so it suits visitors who are happy to sit quietly among local families and enjoy the singing. For someone spending Christmas Eve far from home, a candlelit chapel, a Baroque Mass and familiar carols are a gentle and welcoming way to mark the night. The celebration starts at 22:00 and ends at about 23:15, so plan your return home accordingly. «Noël des Petits Chanteurs de Saint-Charles» Starts 22:00, ends about 23:15.

For «Mercredi au piano» the wedding hall of Versailles town hall opens its doors for a short lunchtime recital given by students of the regional conservatoire and its partners. Entry is free within the limits of available seats, and a half-hour of piano music in the middle of the day is an easy, calm thing to slip into alone. «Mercredi au piano» Starts 12:30, ends about 13:00.
