We're getting a jump on the 2021 anniversary celebrations for Michael Praetorius with selections from the exquisite Mass for Christmas Morning, one of the finest liturgical 'recreations' by Paul McCreesh and the Gabrieli Consort and Players.

In memory of Harold Rutz (1930-2020), who, like Praetorius, was an organist and Lutheran church musician, as well as a founding member of KMFA. He will be sorely missed.
