This concert intends to create a “360-degree experience”, blending visual, spiritual, and auditory components for the audience.
The concert will take place in the newly renovated Monarch Ballroom at St. John’s Resort, which can accommodate up to 1,000 attendees. The ballroom was formerly a historic seminary, adding a layer of authenticity to the event setting.

The VIP package offers exclusive perks, including attendance at a 4:30 p.m. mass sung by the choir in the chapel, a special dinner, and premium seating during the concert.
This performance returns to Plymouth after a prior engagement by the choir in 2017, where they attended a concert in Detroit. The objective is to provide enhanced cultural experiences for those who may not have the opportunity to travel to Italy or those wishing to revisit the ambience of the Sistine Chapel.
Anticipation for the event is high, as members of the choir, including first soloist Cezary Stoch from Poland, express pride in carrying forth the mission of sharing music with people around the globe. The event is an invitation to partake in a unique cultural experience that transcends geographical limits.
