Join us for our time-honored tradition of holiday music at Saint Paul's Episcopal Church in Chestnut Hill as Mendelssohn Chorus of Philadelphia presents A Feast of Carols – our beloved annual holiday concert that captures the magic and wonder of the winter season.

This season marks a truly special milestone with the world premiere of a new commission by acclaimed Philly-born composer Rex Isenberg. This beautiful work was commissioned by Mendelssohn Chorus and supported by Mark Pinzur in celebration of the birth of his grandson Benjamin Isaac Lev Pinzur – a gift of music that will touch hearts for generations to come.

Our carefully curated program features a selection of choral works that celebrate the essence of the winter holidays. Experience the timeless beauty of Mendelssohn and Handel alongside the contemporary brilliance of Abbie Betinis and our own Artistic Director Dominick DiOrio. The evening will also showcase Morten Lauridsen's sublime  Mid-Winter Songs, creating a perfect tapestry of traditional and modern holiday music.

As always, we will be joined by the magnificent Timberdale Brass, whose rich, warm tones will add an extra layer of holiday splendor to our performance. The concert will also feature a special solo work performed by Collaborative Pianist and Senior-Artist-In-Residence Ting Ting Wong, showcasing her exceptional artistry in an intimate musical moment.

A Feast of Carols is our most popular event and almost always sells out. Don't miss this cherished holiday tradition – reserve your tickets today to ensure your place at this magical evening of music and celebration.
