A Feast of Carols

Immerse yourself in the magic of the season with Mendelssohn Chorus of Philadelphia's annual holiday concert A Feast of Carols. This beloved tradition returns with a dazzling array of familiar and fantastical, featuring the voices of our chorus alongside the brilliant sounds of Timberdale Brass, organist Andrew Kotylo, and senior artist-in-residence and collaborative pianist Ting Ting Wong. Artistic Director Dominick Diorio's special Postcard Carols add a personal touch to this yuletide celebration, while a world premiere commissioned work by composer, and former section leader, Michael Robert Smith and poet and current singer Kyle Conner promises to captivate audiences with its fresh perspective on the holiday spirit.

What People Are Saying About

Mass for the Endangered

Saturday's performance was, in a word, spectacular. The repertoire was wonderful, and the quality of soloists and choir was outstanding. It was an exceptional afternoon.

Ethereal and earthy. Unexpected juxtapositions and wonderful harmonies. Loved the soloists embedded in the choir. Also loved the tenor soloist in the baroque mass.

The Mass for the Endangered, which was yet aother example of the MC's bold, intellectual, and imaginative programming. Bravo to Dominick DiOrio for selecting this work at such a critical time in global history.
