Choral Concerts set at St. Bernard

Summit Choral Society’s annual gift to the Akron community features the Masterworks Chorale and the Summit Children's Touring Choir appearing at St. Bernard / St. Mary Church in downtown Akron. The concerts are Friday, Satury and Sunday at 7:30 p.m. December 17, 18 and 19 The first half of this year's concert features two exquisite works from two very different composers: Ottorino Respighi's beautiful musical drama depicting the nativity entitled Laud to the Nativity, and Saint-Saens' Christmas Oratorio. The second half of the concert will, once again, include familiar carols sung by the choirs and audience alike, culminating -- as is our tradition -- with the candlelight recessional to the singing of Silent Night.

Tickets: $20 and $15, all reserved seating (No discounts available)
