In place of our usual Christmas concerts at Grace Church, we are offering a series of short, on line broadcasts of some of our favorite performances in recent years. Each installment will premiere on our YouTube channel at 8:00AM on the appointed date, and will be available for viewing any time thereafter. We look forward to the day when we can all once again share the joy of choral music in person!
