A warm welcome back to I CANTORI DI CARMEL and to their new music director Daniel Henriks. We are so fortunate to have this celebrated choral ensemble share their gifts with us. They will present their winter concerts on December 11 and 12, at 8 pm, at the Carmel Mission Basilica. The program features Mozart’s jubilant Krönungsmesse (Coronation Mass) with chorus, soloists and orchestra, as well as works by Bach, Poulenc and Reger. General admission $30, tickets available online at www.icantori.org.
EnJOY!
