BMF CdM 2026: Festival Finale: St. Cecilia's Day!

The 46th Festival, “Bright Cecilia: The Power of Harmony,” closes with a grand choral Finale celebrating music itself—the power of harmony and more. With international in-demand tenor soloist Nicholas Phan and “luminous” soprano Hannah De Priest, this year’s Festival closer is not to be missed. Featuring Handel’s grand setting of John Dryden’s poem Ode for St. Cecilia’s Day; his Chandos Anthem No. 4, Sing unto the Lord a New Song; and his Concerto Grosso Op. 3, No. 5.
