Our spectacular annual Christmas concerts have become a beloved musical holiday tradition in Madison. This year includes everything you’ve come to expect: uplifting choral performances by the Madison Symphony Chorus, Madison Youth Choirs, and a rousing Gospel climax led by John DeMain and the Mt. Zion Gospel Choir with the entire cast. Two dynamic vocal soloists, Madison-based soprano Vanessa Becerra and baritone Craig Irvin, will join us to celebrate the start of the holiday season. 

John DeMain, Conductor  

Vanessa Becerra, Soprano

Craig Irvin, Baritone

Madison Symphony Chorus, Beverly Taylor, Director

Mount Zion Gospel Choir, Tamera and Leotha Stanley, Directors

Madison Youth Choirs, Michael Ross, Artistic Director

Her soprano voice rings clear and bright, and Becerra easily shifts between the comedy and drama in the story. She brings an aching beauty to her performance.  – Twincities 

Watching a performer like Irvin up close only adds to the thrill of hearing him singing.  – Opera Wire
