The Gettysburg Choral Society, Inc. will present a series of three Christmas concerts entitled “Sing We Noel.” The first two concerts will be held in the Church of the Abiding Presence on the campus of the United Lutheran Seminary in Gettysburg--on Friday, December 6th, at 7:00 P.M. and on Saturday, December 7th, at 3:00 P.M. The seminary is located at 61 Seminary Ridge in Gettysburg, PA. The third and final concert in this year’s Christmas series will be held on Saturday, December 14th, at 3:00 P.M., in the Basilica of the National Shrine of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton, 339 S. Seton Ave., Emmitsburg, MD.
The thirty-voice chorus, under the direction of co-founder and artistic director John McKay, will celebrate the season with some of the most beloved Christmas selections. Each concert will end with a popular sing-along of favorite carols, accompanied by organ.
The two Gettysburg concerts will feature guest organist Peggy Haas Howell. In addition to accompanying the chorus on several selections, she will give a mini-recital of Christmas organ favorites, demonstrating the power and majesty of the seminary’s magnificent Andover pipe organ.
Julie Reaver, the chorus’ newly appointed accompanist, will also be the featured organist at the Basilica concert, as she accompanies on piano and on the M.P. Moller pipe organ.
As always, the concerts are free and open to the public. Tax-deductible contributions will be received to help defray expenses.
