Una Vocis: Gloria - Holiday Concert

Experience the joy of the season as Una Vocis Choral Ensemble opens its 2025–2026 season with Gloria on Saturday, December 13 at 7 PM at First Congregational United Church of Christ, 100 1st St. NE, Mason City.

From centuries-old carols to contemporary choral gems, the evening brings together some of North Iowa’s most talented singers, brass, and percussionists to fill the sanctuary with radiant sound. Featured soloists include Kylie Hansen, Una Vocis’ Artist-in-Residence and a native of Mason City, performing in both Ola Gjeilo’s carols and John Rutter’s Gloria. Hansen, daughter of Matt and the late Angie Hansen, joins local musicians to bring warmth and artistry to the evening. NordKor, Una Vocis’s youth choir directed by Melissa Shallberg, opens the second half, and the audience is invited to join both choirs in two beloved Christmas carols.

The highlight of the night is John Rutter’s Gloria, a jubilant celebration of light and praise, performed with local brass and percussionists who share a deep connection to the community.

After the concert, guests are invited to linger for the ensemble’s cherished “Savories and Sweets” reception, a festive tradition of delicious treats and warm conversation.
