Storying telling is an essential part of the magic of the holidays. In their only New York appearance this season, Cantus, the acclaimed men's vocal ensemble, revisits "A Christmas Carol", "Gift of the Magi," and "’Twas the Night Before Christmas" through arrangements of familiar carols alongside beautiful contemporary works.

"Three Tales of Christmas" evokes the meaning and joy of the season with fresh perspective and just the right amount of nostalgia.
