Following last season’s capacity performance in St. Mark Presbyterian Church, the John Alexander Singers return for two evenings of intimate vocal music-making in honor of the holiday season. This year, the concert retells the Christmas story through musical selections ranging from the mysterious ecstasies of medieval chant to fascinating new works by today’s composers.
