The Golden Concert Choir shares the stage with the Denver Brass 5 for an afternoon of Christmas music on December 12 at 4:00 p.m. The program moves through works by Randol Bass, Gabrieli, Biebl, Pinkham, David Bell and Gwyneth Walker, pairing choral voices with brass for a mix of the celebratory and the quiet. It's an easy outing for families and groups, with tickets at $20 for adults, $15 for seniors, $5 for students, and free admission for children under six.

The choir is a Golden-based ensemble, and this seasonal concert is part of its local music tradition. Gabrieli's antiphonal writing and Biebl's "Ave Maria" sit alongside newer American pieces, giving the afternoon range beyond the usual carols.

The Golden Concert Choir is a nonprofit, and ticket prices are set low enough to keep the concert within reach for families and students.
