While we are unable to physically join together to experience the beauty of music in the glorious sanctuary of First & Franklin Church, we invite you to join with friends far and near for an upcoming video rendering of our annual Candlelight Choral Concert, to be played on Sunday, December 20 at 4 p.m.
As our full choir remains on break, you will hear a small ensemble of singers, readers and instrumentalists presenting chant, poetry, carols, anthems and music for harp, cello and organ, all of which has been professionally recorded in the sacred, candlelit beauty of the sanctuary.
Selected tracks from previous years’ concerts, including audience carols led by organ, brass and choir, will allow you to join in singing from home.
If you join us for the concert, we humbly ask you to consider a "virtual ticket" donation to enable us to continue bringing quality music programming to Baltimore and beyond. Your donation helps us to recover a small portion of the fees for production of the concert, including videography and recording, and musicians fees. Every donation is greatly appreciated!
Please make plans to join us by adding the concert video links to your calendars. INVITE YOUR FRIENDS by sharing this Event!
