"Unto Us a Child is Born" invites to a diverse and wide-ranging journey into choral music for Christmas. Beginning with Mary and Joseph's arduous journey to Bethlehem and continuing through the heightened sense of anticipation and uncertainty of Advent season, we arrive at the worship of Mary, the mother of Jesus.
