Christmas in the Czech Republic is contagious and steeped in tradition, from cookies and cakes to caroling and Christmas trees. Our Chamber Players have captured this Old World enchantment in an intimate holiday program featuring "Saint Wenceslas," arranged by Dvořák's pupil Josef Suk. Anton Arensky's tribute to Tchaikovsky, and Tchaikovsky's own Serenade for Strings, provide a warm soundtrack for your own Christmas celebrations.

Visitation Church is located at 5141 Main Street, Kansas City, Mo.
