Prelude to Christmas - A choral and instrumental music concert.

Join us under the gold dome for an evening of sacred choral and instrumental music at the Prelude to Christmas Concert performed by musicians from the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. Quiet your heart and mind for the season and immerse yourself in the holiday spirit on Thursday, December 11, 2025, starting at 7:00 PM (Central Standard Time). Music for Harp begins at 6:30 p.m.

Located at 416 West 12th Street - Entrance on 11th and Broadway, Kansas City, MO 64105, this is a time to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the season at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in downtown Kansas City. Enter with the sounds of a harp playing, candlelight, in a breathtaking space. Hear the schola choir singing mystical and classical choral music accompanied by strings, harp, and harpsichord. A musical event under the gold dome will be enjoyed and treasured by the whole family.

Whether young or young at heart, the Prelude to Christmas event is the perfect way to kick off the holiday season. Come and be captivated by the music's beauty, the Cathedral's ambiance, and the company of fellow music lovers.

Experiencing such a beautiful, peaceful atmosphere complemented by stunning choral selections was the perfect way to kick off our Advent season. It is rare to find an event during the Christmas season that offers so much for such a reasonable ticket price. Lauren Freking
