Join Music Director Michael Slon and 80 of our community’s finest singers for this beloved Charlottesville holiday tradition.
This year’s concert will feature the first cantata from Bach’s Christmas Oratorio with guest soloists and orchestra, as well as traditional favorites and arrangements of holiday classics such as “Joy to the World” and “O Holy Night,” among others. We know this holiday community favorite will delight our audiences!
We hope you will bring your whole family to the historic Downtown Mall to join in the community spirit of Christmas with The Oratorio Society.
