“Making Spirits Bright”

Come take in the warmth of community and the goodwill of the season with the Saint Mary’s College Choirs in a joyful concert of sacred and secular music offered by our talented and delightful ensembles! From shimmering motets to Bulgarian trumpet-like tones, a cappella jazz, and gospel joy—this uplifting program will truly make spirits bright!

Highlights include Stroope’s heart-expanding Psalm 23 and Fauré’s Sanctus; choral classics by Homilius, Monteverdi, and Mendelssohn; soul-stirring works by Rollo Dilworth (His Eye Is on the Sparrow) and Rosephanye Powell (To Sit and Dream, on prophetic words by Langston Hughes); empowering pop anthems including Brave by Sara Bareilles and Do You Hear the People Sing? from Les Misérables; plus the irresistible grooves of Earth, Wind & Fire and beloved carol arrangements by Greg Murai—culminating in festive community carol singing!
