Join us for a delightful holiday celebration as we present an enchanting afternoon concert of classical chamber music and song in the English Gothic Revival architecture of Emmanuel Church. Bringing together talented musicians from our vibrant community to perform works from the classical repertoire, traditional carols and a grand finale featuring selections from Vivaldi’s Gloria, this event will be a memorable experience for all ages. Following the concert, ring in the holidays with a festive reception graciously hosted by the Vestry of Emmanuel Church.
