BOSTON CAMERATA PRESENTS "A MEDITERRANEAN CHRISTMAS": 8 p.m. Dec. 19, First Parish Church, 20 High Road, Newbury. Centuries-old Christian, Jewish and Muslim threads of the Christmas story from throughout the Mediterranean basin — Italy, Spain, France, Greece, North Africa and the Holy Land — found on medieval manuscripts and more recent, though still archaic, folklore and oral traditions, are woven together and performed on early European and Middle Eastern instruments, interspersed with poems and narrations. Virtuoso musicians include singers and instrumentalists performing on vielle, winds, oud, Middle Eastern percussion and hurdy-gurdy. SHARQ Arabic Music Ensemble joins The Boston Camerata in this program. Tickets: $10-$40, bostoncamerata.com, 617-262-2092.
