“I’m excited to share the talent of Pro Coro Alexandria’s singers in Old Town for an intimate performance,” said artistic director Brian Fontaine-Isaac. “The Mass in E♭” is especially stunning, with a double choir that honors Renaissance and Baroque writing, while leaning into undeniably Romantic styling.”

PCA’s program also features a cappella works including Kate Rusby’s “Underneath the Stars,” Shawn Kirchner’s “Unclouded Day, Angel Band and Heavenly Home,” Toh Xin Long’s “The Cloud,” and Charles Wood’s “Hail, Gladdening Light. “
