From the great cathedrals of Europe comes one of our most cherished traditions:  Grace Cathedral’s Choir of Men and Boys. And since 1947, the Choir has celebrated the coming of Christmas with exquisite performances of classic carols and sacred masterpieces. Ring in the season with this glorious, nationally recognized Choir, accompanied by full orchestra and our 7,466 pipe organ — and make this beloved San Francisco tradition your own.

This performance is 90 minutes with no intermission. Children are more than welcome to attend if they can quietly enjoy a 90-minute concert. Thank you for your understanding!
