Join us for this classically composed Mass of the Americas by Frank La Rocca. It will be presented by the Chancel Choir on Sunday, December 6 as the worship service with Diane Hires, director.
Imagine walking to church and along the way you are joined by family and neighbors in singing. The beginning of Mass of the Americas features a folk hymn from the Mission period when this was common, followed by movements from the typical mass, and dedications to the Virgin Mary.
The work features our Chancel Choir, brief solos, and a vocal ensemble accompanied by a guest chamber orchestra of strings, guitar, handbells, and organ. The guest organist will be Chris Garofalo, a local Steinway artist, who maintains a private teaching studio.

Gary United Methodist Church

Heralding the Christmas season, Camerata Chicago and Camerata Chicago Chorus will feature Part I of George Frideric Handel’s “Messiah,” HWV 56 — traditionally known as the Christmas section — followed by the jubilant “Hallelujah” chorus from Part II, sung first by the chorus and repeated as an audience sing-along.
The concert, led by founder and music director Drostan Hall, opens with Handel’s celebratory “Zadok the Priest,” HWV 258, for orchestra and chorus, an anthem written for the coronation of England’s King George II. The text is derived from the biblical account of the anointing of King Solomon by Zadok and the public’s rejoicing.
The piece opens with a long suspenseful build-up leading to the chorus’s glorious entry.
Hall sees a spiritual connection between these works. “’Zadok’ is about the anointment of an earthly king, recognized by God and the Church,” he says. “‘Messiah’ is about the arrival of the heavenly king.”
Soloists are countertenor Key'mon Murrah, mezzo-soprano Camille Robles, tenor Daniel Luis Espinal, and bass-baritone Laureano Quant.
Tickets and information
Single tickets are $50 adults, $40 seniors 65 and over, $10 students, $2 children 14 and under. VIP tickets are $75.
Using online code CCPR provides a 15% discount.
Tickets and information are available at CamerataChicago.org and by phone 312-799-0916. Email: andiamo@cameratachicago.org.
