Under the direction of John McKay, The Gettysburg Choral Society will present a pair of Christmas concerts entitled “In dulci jubilo” (“In sweet rejoicing”) on Friday, December 5th at 7pm and Saturday, December 6th at 3pm in the chapel of The United Lutheran Seminary, 61 Seminary Ridge, Gettysburg, PA 17325. The chorus will perform timeless Christmas favorites such as “Carol of the Bells,” “Do You Hear What I Hear?” and more. Featuring soprano Amanda Peters, the program will also include several recitatives, as well as choruses from Handel’s “Messiah.”
Joining the chorus’ regular accompanist Erin Petrella, guest organist Peggy Haas Howell will perform several organ classics based on “In dulci jubilo” and accompany several chorus numbers. Ms. Howell has performed throughout Europe and the United States and is well known in Gettysburg. She is the National Vice President and Councillor for Competitions and New Music with the American Guild of Organists. Additionally, she is the organist and choirmaster at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Lynchburg, Virginia and director of Cantate, a community choir for children and youth. Her lengthy career as a recording artist, recitalist, teacher and church musician was best summed up by Cleveland’s The Plain Dealer when it aptly described her as a “play-anything virtuoso.” She is sure to inspire all with her technical wizardry on the chapel’s magnificent Andover pipe organ.
As always, the performances will conclude with the audience joining in a joyous sing-along, accompanied by organ and chorus as the sounds of Christmas reverberate throughout the chapel.
The Gettysburg Choral Society, Inc. is a nonprofit 501©(3) organization composed of auditioned singers who utilize their talents to pursue excellence in choral music performance. The concerts are free and no tickets are required. Tax-deductible contributions are appreciated to help defray concert-related expenses. An offering will be collected.
