Master Chorale Holiday Performance: ‘Celebrate Today’

The Santa Clarita Master Chorale, led by Artistic Director Allan Robert Petker, has announced its two-event concert series for the holiday season. The first event is “Celebrate Today,” the Chorale’s annual holiday concert, on Sunday, Dec. 11. The Chorale will explore the Latin text “Hodie Christus natus est,” meaning “Christ is born today.” Numerous works have been composed over the centuries celebrating the day Christ was born. The Chorale will present several of them, along with music for Hanukkah, favorite carols and other musical holiday treats. Secondly, the Chorale will be hosting its sixth annual Messiah Sing-Along, featuring selections from the Christmas portion of Handel’s “Messiah” and soloists from the Chorale, at Valencia United Methodist Church on Monday, Dec. 12. Admission for the Messiah Sing-Along is free, but donations are welcome. Tickets for both events can be found at SCMasterChorale.org.
