CSUS choirs will be celebrating their 25th year of presenting the "Procession of Carols," an event that usually sells out fast.

The silver anniversary of the program of familiar and new carols, brass and organ music, and candlelight procession will be presented three times: 8 p.m. Dec. 5 and 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Dec. 6. All performances will be at Sacred Heart Church, 39th and J streets in east Sacramento.

The choirs will be led by conductor Donald Kendrick. Selections include David Child's "O Magnum Mysterium," Robert Shaw's arrangement of "The Holly and the Ivy" and William Mathias' "Alleluia."

Tickets to the California State University, Sacramento performances are $10 general admission, $5 for students and seniors. Tickets are available at the CSUS ticket office, (916) 278-4323, or www.tickets.com.
