Ceremony of Carols

Our annual holiday concert features all 5 ensembles of the Pittsburgh Girls Choir. The concert opens with our premier ensemble, the Chamber Choir performing Chiara Margarita Cozzolani’s Ave Regina Caelorum (1642) and Rebeca Clarke’s Ave Maria (1937). Our training choirs will then delight the audience with their pure young voices as they welcome in the holidays with Cornish Wassail. Our featured work, Britten’s Ceremony of Carols (1942), has become a PGC favorite for our audiences and singers alike. Other highlights include all 5 choirs singing the moving Chanukah Prayer for Children (Ryan Brechmacher) and joyous Ding Dong Merrily on High (Stephen Mager).
