December 10, 11
Charlotte Master Chorale presents a program of seasonal favorites that span the centuries of choral music: from Sweelinck and Handel to Kirchner and Pentatonix.
In addition to the historical selections, we are excited to present recently-written works by composers in our organization: Phil Biedenbender and Nyi Nyi Myin. The unifying themes of hope and peace will be evident throughout the evening. It is our hope that we all can find peace through the common passion for music.
