SACRED MUSIC SOCIETY OF OUR LADY QUEEN OF MARTYRS was founded in 1983. It presented its first major Christmas Concert in 1984. Excerpts from G.F. Handel’s Messiah and beloved Christmas carols and holiday favorites were featured. The combined choruses of the Choir of Our Lady Queen of Martyrs and the Oratorio Society of Queens are joined by professional soloists and a full symphony orchestra to make this outstanding presentation, one without equal in the borough of Queens. The performance of the Annual Christmas Concert has become a tradition that continues to the present day under the direction of Music Director and Conductor, Maestro David Close.
