On December 9 and 10, 2023, the Carolina Master Chorale opens its 41^st Subscription Concert Series with its long-standing holiday tradition, presenting music for choir and brass ensemble celebrating Christmas and Hanukah.  The program is anchored by medium length works of contemporary choral composers including setting of Gloria by Antonio Vivaldi, Jeffrey Ames and John Rutter, Hodie (“This Day”) by Z. Randall Stroope, and excerpts from Aspects of a Great Miracle about the Hanukah story by Michael Isaacson. The program is accompanied by a ten-piece brass and percussion ensemble from the Long Bay Symphony of Myrtle Beach.
