“Christmas at the Cathedral”
Masterworks Chorale and Children's Chorus
Dr. Sparger's last concert as our musical director..
The holiday spirit begins with Christmas at the Cathedral—traditional carols joined with classics by the masters, sung in the most beautiful setting in metro east. This year, you will be inspired by Part 1 of Handel's "Messiah". After the haunting candlelight processional the Masterworks Children’s Chorus will join the Chorale and Orchestra to present both favorite and new carols of the season. PC Warning: This concert includes nothing about snowmen, reindeer, elves, or warm and fuzzys. This concert unabashedly celebrates Christmas!
