Choral Connection, together with two local choirs, will present a program of contemporary compositions and carol-arrangements for Christmas. Highlights include a poignant setting of “In the Bleak Midwinter” by Abbie Betinis; Elaine Hagenberg’s lovely “Sweetest Music, Softly Stealing”; Howard Goodall’s soul-stirring “Love Divine”; and Morten Lauridsen’s awe-filled “O Nata Lux,” which I wrote about in a recent blog post.

No tickets are required, but we will gladly accept donations at the event.

Founded by Dr. Mark Webb in 2022, Choral Connection is a mixed chamber choir (SATB) drawn from top singers in various West Michigan choirs. It aims for choral excellence in music that speaks to the heart.
