Join the Paul Madore Chorale for the first concert of their 60th season, a festive evening of choral music that journeys across cultures and traditions.

From folk songs from around the globe through joyful carols to Dreamweaver, Ola Gjeilo’s luminous setting of a mystical Norwegian folk poem, this program celebrates the universal spirit of the season through harmony and hope. 

The concert is at 7 pm on Saturday, December 13, at the First Parish Church, 10 Central Street, Manchester-by-the-Sea, MA, 01944. Tickets are $25 and available at the door or on zeffy.com in advance.
