We are happy to let you know that, in spite of COVID, we are planning to have our “Christmas with the Chorale” concerts—of course with a few changes to insure safety. The choir members are all vaccinated, we’ll be singing with masks, and the audience must also be masked and vaccinated. In addition, the concert will be shorter than usual, with no intermission, and since the size of the audience will be smaller than can fill Holy Cross, you’ll have to order your tickets early! But even with these limitations that are unpleasant for all of us, you can be sure, there will be no limitations to the beauty of the program! Beginning with what is some of the oldest known Christmas music, Gregorian chant, we will sing music from centuries past, and right up to compositions from modern times. We will again be joined by the Monterey Bay Sinfonietta, and of course we will also perform favorite carols from around the world. We are very much looking forward to finally seeing you again, and to sharing with you the joy of Christmas music.
