I attended #2 at the Basilica in D.C. Wednesday evening.

For those not familiar, the Sistine Chapel Choir is the "Pope's choir." Their music is called 'Sacred Music.' All of the music is from the Renaissance period and was sung in Latin. There are no musical instruments.

The selections were from various periods of the church's liturgical calendar, e.g., Advent, Lent including Holy Week, etc.
