The liturgies, music and art of the ancient Catholic churches of the Eastern Rite are truly beautiful and transcendent, and an opportunity to experience that transcendence takes place on December 21 when Annunciation Byzantine Catholic Church presents the “Joyful Sounds of Christmas.” The St. Cecilia Chorale Schola Cantorum will perform a program of Christmas carols and songs, chants and motets, with excerpts from Handel’s Messiah and a Sing-A-Long.
The program begins at 4:30 p.m. Tickets are $13 each for adults and $10 each for children 12 and under, and can be purchased at the door.
Annunciation Byzantine Catholic Church is located at 995 N. West Street in Anaheim.
