Sheepscot Chorus invites you to their annual holiday concert on Sunday, Dec. 1, at 3:00 PM at the Boothbay Harbor Congregational Church. Professional tenor soloist David Myers-Wakeman and a chamber orchestra will join the chorus for this popular event. "We are pleased to perform this heartwarming concert for the community," says director Linda Blanchard.
"The First Nowell" is a collection of carols written to accompany a nativity play, and in addition to the title carol it includes carols such as "God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen," "The Cherry Tree Carol," " The Sussex Carol," and more. Vaughan Williams biographer Stephen Connock wrote about the appeal of the work: "Vaughan Williams’ Christmas music in its freshness and warmth speaks directly to the heart. It is music to be played and cherished on Christmas Eve, at home, near the fire, with children safe and all at heart’s-ease."
A Holst choral fantasy on carols and other holiday pops favorites will round out the second half of the program. Co-director and accompanist Sean Fleming has a knack for bringing together top-notch musicians for our holiday pops orchestra, sure to set toes tapping!
