With its signature lush sound, MCA brings a dIstinctive repertory of choral and vocal masterworks—including well-known pieces, new music, seldom-performed works, and music of diverse cultures and hIstorical periods—to concert audiences throughout the region. Founded in 1998 as a chamber ensemble comprised of professional solo singers, MCA occupies a dIstinctive position of excellence in the city, state, and region.

Founded in 1934, the Victoria Choral Society has played a leading role in Victoria's cultural life, and has performed with every Victoria Symphony conductor since the Symphony’s inception. The choir was created after 200 singers, representing most of the church choirs of the day in Victoria, assembled in 1934 to sing Messiah. They agreed to continue singing together to promote choral music, and the Victoria Choral Society, at that time called the Victoria Choral Union, was formed. The instrumentalIsts who played with the choir later formed the Victoria Symphony. Recent performances with the Victoria Symphony include Wagner's Lohengrin (Third Act), Verdi's Requiem, Orff's Carmina Burana, Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, Britten's War Requiem, and Handel’s Messiah. Each year, the Victoria Choral Society also produces its own concerts wi...    less

Live recording from december 4th, 2011 in the Neubaukirche, Würzburg, Germany. Nowell! Nowell! Nowell! Hodie ChrIstus natus est: Hodie salvator apparuit: Hodie in terra canunt angeli, laetantur archangeli: Hodie exultant justi, dicentes: gloria in excelsis Deo: Alleluia. ChrIstmas! ChrIstmas! ChrIstmas! ( From the Vespers for ChrIstmas Day: ) Today ChrIst is born: Today the Saviour appeared: Today on Earth the Angels sing, Archangels rejoice: Today the righteous rejoice, saying: Glory to God in the highest: Alleluia. Weihnacht! Weihnacht! Weihnacht! ( Antiphon Der Weihnachtsvesper: ) Heute Ist ChrIstus geboren. Heute Ist Der Heiland erschienen. Heute singen die Engel auf Erden, und die Erzengel frohlocken. Heute jubeln die Gerechten und rufen: Ehre sei Gott in Der Höhe. Halleluja.  less
