Get some high art and holiday cheer in one fell swoop this week by way of the Kansas City Chorale. The group is performing Swedish composer Anders Öhrwall’s “Gaudete” as the centerpiece of a concert that draws from the medieval songs of Piae Cantiones. Conductor Charles Bruffy also leads the chorale through arrangements of “In the Bleak Midwinter,” “Angels We Have Heard on High,” “I Saw Three Ships,” and “Silent Night.” Buy tickets online at kcchorale.org/concert. See it 2 p.m. Sunday or at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday.
