From: Choral Society Of PensacolaLearn more about our upcoming performances of Christmas Messiah in a short video preview by our artistic director Peter Steenblik. Follow this link.
We'll present Christmas Messiah on Friday, December 1 at 7:30 pm and Saturday, December 2 at noon in the beautiful Cathedral of the Sacred Heart.
Last season, we sold out one performance and almost sold out the other, so make sure you won't be disappointed and buy your tickets today at Purplepass,com.
Meet us at the Rex Theatre on Sunday, December 10 at 5 PM to enjoy our annual holiday sing-along, an hour of family-friendly music making. We'll make it easy; we'll display all the lyrics on the Rex movie screen and our Treble Ensemble will be your backup singers. And we'll invite you to indulge in some super-silly interactions (pompoms and jingle bells, anyone?), sip hot chocolate. munch sweet treats, and share your Christmas wishes with Santa.
Our sing-along will include brief performances by our Treble Ensemble, other members of the Choral Society, and special guests from Gulf Coast Chorale -- and greeting you as you arrive, you'll hear the a cappella quartet Impromptune.
Admission is free, but please bring non-perishable food items for Manna Pantries. For a list of most-needed items, click here.
Giving Tuesday, a day of global generosity, kicks off our end-of-year fundraiser. Please visit our Facebook page on Tuesday, November 28 (or anytime through December 31) to make a secure donation with no processing fees.
