WESTLAND, MI [COCC] -- On Sunday, 13 December 2015, choirs from several parishes across Metropolitan Detroit gathered to offer "Christ is Born! Glorify Him! A Detroit Orthodox Christmas Concert" at Sts. Constantine & Helen Greek Orthodox Church in Westland.
Over 400 people, including His Eminence Metropolitan Nicholas and other local clergy, enjoyed a variety of Christmas carols and Orthodox hymns from various cultures (in English and other languages) presented by choirs from the following parishes:
- St. Lazarus "Ravanica" Serbian Orthodox Cathedral in Detroit
- Holy Transfiguration Orthodox Church in Livonia

In addition, Romanian Children Carolers and a group from The Orthodox Choir of Detroit also performed.
