The highlight of our annual holiday concert, Gloria!, will be “Christmas Cantata” by K. Lee Scott. We will also recognize the 80th birthday of Carl Schalk, one of Chicago’s most prolific composers of sacred music. Excerpts from his recent work, "Scenes from the New Testament", will be performed. The program will also include Mr. Teolis' arrangements of “Here We Come A-Wassailing” and “Go Tell It on the Mountain.”
