Candlelight Christmas Concerts

Church of the Ascension, 36 Fifth Ave at 10th Street, New York, NY 10011

Lit by the glow of hundreds of candles, our most popular concert of the year will feature our enduring holiday traditions along with brand-new musical delights. As always, our program of glorious Christmas music will open with classic arrangements of favorite carols with the chorus and a major guest soloist. Then, we will perform Benjamin Britten’s haunting, ethereal Ceremony of Carols, featuring the pristine sounds of Voices of Ascension’s women singers gathered around a harp. Truly, an other-worldly experience. Finally, we have commissioned a special new medley of famous carols to end the evening in a rousing finale with traditional sing-alongs. An unforgettable Christmas experience you won’t want to miss.
