New & Noteworthy

Tickets are now on sale for ‘Tis the season!

This December, we welcome the holidays with the gem that is Mendelssohn’s rarely performed Christmas cantata. This sets the stage for an array of holiday music that tells the story of the season with selections ranging from the classical – Bach and Handel – to the traditional, rendered in richly harmonic, contemporary arrangements. 

7:30 PM on Wednesday, December 10 & Thursday, December 11 
The Basilica of St. Patrick's Old Cathedral, Little Italy

The concert includes Felix Mendelssohn’s Vom Himmel hoch (“From heav’n on high”) and a suite of carols arranged by Ryan Brandau, plus favorites from Bach’s Magnificat and Handel’s Messiah.

With soloists Abby Brodnick, Soprano, and Harrison Hintzche, Baritone

Plus, we're delighted to welcome special guests, the Scotch-Plains Fanwood Select Choir, directed by Mrs. Jan Allen, for our December 10 performance.

‘Tis timeless, ‘tis reflective, ‘tis joyful – ‘tis the season!  Make plans now to join us for this sparkling holiday event – a concert so nice, we’re singin’ it twice!


Save the date for spring 2026

In the spring, we’ll present Haydn’s acclaimed Lord Nelson Mass, also known as the Mass for Troubled Times, at the beautiful Church of St. Mary the Virgin in Times Square, promising a powerful musical experience. Celebrate the season with us and enjoy the rich tradition of choral music in two exciting performances at iconic New York venues.
