Special guest artist Norma Aamodt-Nelson, Trinity’s organist, will be featured with the Chorus on “Magnificat” by English composer Gerald Finzi, and in solo performances on the church’s distinctive Pasi organ.
Contemporary carol arrangements provide an audience caroling sing-along to round out the program.
