A 2024 Chorale Christmas

More from this show

It’s the Phoenix Chorale’s beloved annual holiday tradition: A Chorale Christmas, with a mix of holiday music from across the centuries—recorded live at Brophy Chapel and Trinity Cathedral in Phoenix on December 15th and 16th, 2024. 

This special program features selections from Benjamin Britten’s Ceremony of Carols, new music for the holiday season by living composers like Kerensa Briggs and Melissa Dunphy, a traditional Spanish carol along with familiar favorites like Jingle Bells, and, of course, the audience joining in with a singalong of O Come All Ye Faithful. Tune in for a mix of new and old music that is sure to brighten your holiday season on a special Arizona Encore.
