The joys of Christmas are many and varied, as is the greatest of choral Christmas music. Some works here are favorites every year, such as "Carol of the Bells," Biebl's sonorous "Ave Maria," and Thompson's introspective "Alleluia." We'll also explore the late Renaissance in England, Holland, and Germany. And we'll feature our own resident composers Bern Herbolsheimer, Jeremy Kings, and Joy Porter, plus a new work by Vashon Island-based Charles Lovekin. Join this evening of joy and wonder!
