You can look forward to classics such as “What Sweeter Music” by Rutter, an amazing arrangement of the Alfred Burt carol, “Some Children See Him” by Rouse, the always-sparkling “Ding Dong Merrily on High” by Wilberg, and a haunting arrangement of “Coventry Carol” arranged by Davison.
Also included you can look forward to a Mark Hayes version of “The Christmas Waltz”, the rousing “Counting Down to Christmas” from “A Christmas Story, The Musical”, and a holiday favorite, “White Christmas”.
The Chorale will be joined this concert by local Baritone, Joey Goodale. Joey will sing with The Chorale on “Sweet Little Jesus Boy”, and André Thomas’ “Here’s A Pretty Little Baby”, in addition to gracing us all with selections of his own.
