About
SFGC takes its beloved annual holiday concert online for a lively and festive virtual offering of early music choral works featuring hundreds of choristers from the SFGC Chorus School Prep Chorus, Training Chorus and Levels I-IV, Premier Ensemble and SFGC alums. A staple in the holiday calendar at Davies Symphony Hall, portions of the concert will be filmed on location at Davies as well as San Francisco’s Mission Dolores Basilica.
