A great weekend for choral music
This weekend, there will be two opportunities to hear great choral music in the greater Hartford area. The Vernon Chorale presents Schubert’s Mass No. 2 in G Major on Saturday night, and the Chancel Choir of Immanuel Congregational Church presents its annual Festival of Lessons and Carols on Sunday afternoon at 4pm. Information on each event can be found below. What better way to bring in the holiday season than with the sound of choirs singing?
