EarRelevant Staff | 3 OCT 2025

ROSWELL, Georgia— The Michael O’Neal Singers has announced its 2025–26 concert season, a six-program series titled “Music of Sunrise” that explores themes of light, resilience, and renewal.

The season opens October 12 with “Enchanted Broadway,” a program of familiar musical theater selections. It continues with a holiday performance, “Classy, Brassy Christmas,” on December 7, followed by the ensemble’s annual Messiah Sing-Along on December 21.

A Valentine’s weekend program, “Kaleidoscope: Shakespeare in Love,” is scheduled for February 15, featuring settings of Shakespeare’s texts. On March 22, the group will present “From Silence to Wonder,” a Lenten concert moving from reflection to celebration.

The season concludes May 3 with “Ascending into Light: A Journey of Transcendence,” highlighted by Ola Gjeilo’s Sunrise Mass.

Artistic director Michael O’Neal said the 2025-26 season is designed to be “a pathway to hope—each performance a step toward renewal, joy, and transcendence.” Executive director Holly Mulcahy added that the programs aim to connect “both the heart and the mind.”

The Michael O’Neal Singers, founded more than 30 years ago and based in Roswell, is known for performances that combine large-scale choral works with community traditions.
