Performers for this Candlelight Advent Concert include members of the North Carolina Baroque Orchestra , performing on historical instruments, and the St. Paul’s Choir with featured soloists: Marianna Allen, Eric Bash, Erik Gustafson, Jonathan Harris, Isaac Mullet, Rosella Ewing Terry, and Meredith Thomas.

From St. Paul's Director of Music Paul Thomas: "We are delighted to present two Baroque masterworks for the Advent season, featuring instruments that would have been familiar to Bach and Handel, but possibly not Chattanooga audiences. The musicians of the North Carolina Baroque Orchestra specialize in playing authentic period instruments featuring the warm sound of gut strings, the crisp articulation of convex bows, and the tone of the natural trumpet that crowns the whole ensemble. These sounds will combine with our semi-professional choir and soloists in St. Paul's soaring Nave for what promises to be a very special evening of music."
