Join us for our 2025 holiday concert, Hodie Christus Natus Est, on Saturday, December 6th, 3:00 pm at St. Anthony’s Chapel (2300 Garden Street, Santa Barbara 93101).
We will present choral works from the High Renaissance, featuring especially the sublime works of Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, in honor of the 500th anniversary of his birth in the Papal States (Italy). We are thrilled to be performing this repertoire in St. Anthony’s Chapel, whose ambience and acoustics are perfectly suited to it.

Online ticket sales are available at https://adelfosensemble.org/tickets. Of course, there are always plenty of tickets available at the door, as well. We look forward to sharing our music with you on December 6th!

This past weekend, 14 Adelfos singers joined the 200-strong chorus for the Santa Barbara Symphony's season-opening concerts, featuring Beethoven's monumental 9th Symphony and Aaron Copland's "The Promise of Living" (from his opera The Tender Land) . We had a wonderful time, and were delighted to contribute this major community event!
(As you can see, our pre-concert ritual continues unabated... 😄 )
