The Christmas Candlelight Concert series is an annual Akron holiday tradition, celebrating its 31st year. Due to restrictions surrounding the COVID 19 crisis Summit Choral Society is unable to offer this performance live for the public at the historic St. Bernard Catholic Church. Instead Summit Choral Society will bring inspiration to you this holiday season with a video production to be enjoyed community-wide from the comfort and safety of your homes. This free community virtual production features a combination of traditional holiday songs, striking classical choir performances as well as soloists and instrumentalists - providing the full Christmas Candlelight Concert experience downtown Akron has come to love.
Check back on December 18th at 7:30 PM for the video release!
