CHARLOTTE — The three choirs of St. Patrick Cathedral will collaborate for their 10th annual Sacred Music Advent and Christmas Concert at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 13. Director of Sacred Music and organist Dr. Gianfranco DeLuca will feature the adult Cathedral Choir, the high school choir, and the children’s choir at the event.
“The choirs are neat because they are open to the entire diocese, so we have kids that come from a lot of other parishes and schools,” DeLuca said. “It is a great mix from different places.”
The night brings with it a chamber orchestra of local freelance musicians. The choirs have practiced for this event since early October and will sing choral pieces mostly in Latin from the likes of Parsons, Rathgeber, Bach and Mendelssohn.
