Let your spirit shine with Amabilis Singers at “Lux”—an uplifting concert of choral brilliance, premieres, and glowing harmonies!

Step into a world of radiant beauty and musical brilliance as the voices of the Amabilis Singers, piano and harp unite to illuminate the night. This inspiring program features masterpieces that celebrate light in all its forms, from the shimmering mystery of Poulenc’s O Magnum Mysterium to the ethereal glow of Whitacre’s Lux Aurumque. Experience Britten’s beloved Ceremony of Carols accompanied by harp and enjoy the warmth of Rutter’s Candlelight Carol.

Be among the first to hear the world premiere of Man Li’s Reaching for the Star. Lauridsen’s Sure on This Shining Night and Dan Forrest’s luminous arrangement of The First Noel complete this unforgettable evening.

Join us for a celebration of wonder, hope, and the transformative power of choral music—where every note is a spark of light.
