The Desert Chorale’s annual Winter Festival is back–glowing with the warmth and beauty of the holiday season. Twenty-four professional artists and guest collaborative pianist Nathan Salazar gather in the Land of Enchantment from across the nation to perform a luminous program of beloved carols, transcendent sacred works, and festive tunes. The program features works by celebrated composers Eric Whitacre, Caroline Shaw, and Gioachino Rossini, along with a few new favorites waiting to be discovered. Gather with loved ones, celebrate the joy and wonder of the season, and ring in the new year with your Santa Fe Desert Chorale.
