From the original chant melody that inspired O Come, All Ye Faithful to the music of Irving Berlin, the singers of The Master Chorale, along with guests from Lumina Youth choirs and a host of instrumentalists, will treat audiences to a special evening of sacred and secular tunes that are sure to warm hearts and spread holiday cheer.

The Friday evening performance will be recorded for future broadcast on Classical WSMR 89.3 & 103.9.


The winning piece from The Master Chorale's Christmas Carol Composition Competition, "Ave Maria" by Charleene Closshey, will be performed on this concert series.​
