The 2024 Messiah Sing or Listen is now in the books, and a wonderful time was had by all!

Simon Holt conducted this year’s sold-out event, which featured extraordinary performances by soloists Clare Brussel (soprano), Rachel Abrams (mezzo-soprano), Brian Cheney (tenor) and John Ong (bass), accompanist Blake Hansen, and a talented chorus of volunteer vocalists. Above is a picture of the happy headliners just before the show began.

Join us again next December for our Annual Messiah Sing or Listen at the Kate!

The Cappella Cantorum Masterworks Chorus and Cappella Orchestra, together with featured soloists Kelsey Guinipero (soprano), Rachel Abrams (mezzo-soprano), Tim Lind (tenor) and Edmound Fitzpatrick (bass), performed Haydn’s  Missa Sancti Nicolai and Te Deum, along with a selection of other holiday favorites, on Sunday, December 8, 2024 at the historic Terris Theatre in Chester, CT.

The concert was conducted by Dr. Irina Georgieva, who became the Music Director of Cappella Cantorum in July 2024. What a wonderful way to kick off the holiday season!

International Tour

Our 2024 International Tour was an amazing trip! Following the Pre-Tour Concert (June 16, 2024 at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church in Madison, CT), the 2024 Tour group traveled and performed in Austria, Germany & Switzerland  from June 21 – June 30.

We had a wonderful time visiting these beautiful countries and performing selections from our tour repertoire, which included a carefully curated mix of music from early and modern-day composers, classical hymns, high-energy spirituals, a fun Italian madrigal, and more.

Our Tour Music Director Dr. Jeremy Milton, Guest Conductor Molly Webster, and Tour Accompanist Anna Jedd brought out the best in all of our singers. We are all grateful to Elana Vasi-Smith and the Tour Committee for their hard work in planning and executing this unforgettable trip!

Thank you to everyone who came to the Pre-Tour Concert, participated in the Tour Raffle, or helped to support our singers and travelers in other ways. We’re gathering videos & photos now from everyone involved in the trip, and highlights will be added to our Photo Gallery and Video Gallery as soon as they are available.
