Musica Sacra Chorus and Orchestra continues its 20th anniversary celebration with music by Haydn, Buxtehude, Telemann and Donizetti at 7 p.m. Friday, Feb. 18, in St. Francis Xavier Church, 52nd Street and Troost Avenue.
Musica Sacra will perform Franz Joseph Haydn’s Salve Regina in G minor.

Two brief works by Georg Philipp Telemann (1681-1767) and Gaetano Donizetti (1797-1848) complete the program.
