Choral Music at Crescent Ave Presbyterian Church

From deep in the chancel you will hear the pronouncement of the coming miracle, “Salvation Is Created.”  Hand bells will bring the singers to the back of the church while they sing of the prophecy fulfilled, “Hodie Christus Natus Est!” 

Then you will be invited to join in the full processional hymn “O Come All Ye Faithful!” as the singers return to the front of the church with a joyous descant. We will continue with songs from the Renaissance to modern times, some peaceful and reflective, some boisterous and jolly. And you will join us in carol medleys, so bring your best voice to share! 

No tickets are required for this concert since it is a free musical gift to the community. Invite your family and friends and come early to sit in your favorite spot!
