SAINT AUGUSTINE. – As we celebrate our 70th anniversary this season, the St. Augustine Community Chorus, under the direction of Mike Sanflippo, announces the opening of ther 2018-19 concert series with two December performances of Gaudete! Rejoice! to be presented Saturday, Dec. 15 at 7:30 pm and Sunday, Dec. 6 at 2pm at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Augustine.
The chorus will be accompanied by brass, percussion, and strings, including some traditional carols, excerpts from Handel’s Messiah, and a special appearance by the St. Augustine Youth Chorus.
