Columbus native Eric Stark will lead the Indianapolis Symphonic Choir’s holiday concert titled “Festival of Carols” at 7 p.m. Monday on on MyINDY-TV 23.

The event features a selection of fan-favorite and traditional holiday music, along with musical surprises for the whole family, according to organizers. The performance will feature Indianapolis native and world-renowned soprano Angela Brown, whose presence has been at the forefront of opera, concert and empowerment through music across the globe.

Years ago, Brown became popular with Columbus audiences when she performed with the Columbus Indiana Philharmonic.

“Festival of Carols” will also feature the world premiere of “Heart of God,” winner of the 11th Annual Christmas Carol Commission Competition, an initiative as part of the Indianapolis Symphonic Choir’s ongoing commitment to the future of choral music.
