CHARLESTON, S.C. | The Charleston Men’s Chorus invites the Lowcountry to celebrate the magic of the holiday season with Gloria! A Christmas Celebration, on Sunday, December 13, 2026, at historic St. Philip’s Church in downtown Charleston.
Under the direction of Artistic Director Ricard Bordas, the Chorus will present a rich and varied program of traditional carols, sacred choral works, and familiar holiday favorites, bringing the warmth and wonder of Christmas to life through the powerful harmonies of men’s voices.
Audiences can look forward to treasured selections such as O Little Town of Bethlehem, Carol of the Bells, and Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas, alongside the spirited African Noel, the playful Jingle Bells Sort Of, and the inspiring Festival Gloria. Together, these selections capture the many moods of the season, from joyful celebration and lighthearted nostalgia to quiet reflection.

We hope audiences leave feeling uplifted, connected, and truly in the Christmas spirit.”
