Artistic director Peter Steenblik leads the 100-voice Choral Society of Pensacola and organist Hyunjoo Kim in stirring sacred masterworks from England, Germany, and the United States, including music for multiple choirs.

The program features Benjamin Britten's "Rejoice in the Lamb," a moving setting of eccentric, endearing verse by 18 th -century poet Christopher Smart. It also includes well-known works by Gustav Holst, Ralph Vaughan Williams, Franz Biebl, Heinrich Schütz, and Felix Mendelssohn, as well as William Dawson's classic arrangements of three beloved spirituals.
