One of the more celebrated professional choirs in the country resides right here in the Bay Area, and its holiday concert features spectacularly sung, beautifully arranged carols and is a perennial favorite. The group tours the Bay Area, so it’s easy to find a concert near you, but if you happen to live around Santa Clara or Carmel, hearing Chanticleer sing in the Missions is an extra-special treat. (Failing that, try St. Ignatius Loyola Church on Parker Street in San Francisco, on Dec. 15 — a beautiful venue.)
