Chorus pro Musica's annual holiday concert draws on music from around the world by composers of diverse backgrounds, built around the ways different cultures mark light, warmth and togetherness in winter, with familiar classics alongside lesser-known pieces. The chorus, founded in 1949, is led by music director Jamie Kirsch, who is also Director of Choral Activities at Tufts University.
