Brecksville Community Choruses Present Free Christmas Concert

Brecksville Community Chorus
Joy Parker, Director of Choruses
Christmas Concert
Sunday, December 13
4 pm at Brecksville United Methodist Church, 65 Public Square, Brecksville, Ohio

This annual concert is a favorite holiday tradition. Don’t miss an afternoon of wonderful music and singing. This year, the concert features two youth chorusus. Cantus, a junior chorus, will share holiday favorites including Go Tell it On the Mountain and You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch. Choraliers, an advanced senior chorus, will sing The Snow, a stunning work by Edward Elgar that features two solo violins as well as works by contemporary composers Jim Papoulis and Amy Feldman Bernon.

The adult chorus is proud to present selections from Magnificat, one of J. S. Bach’s gorgeous cantatas for Christmas. Soloists Megan Rohrer (mezzo soprano), Terry Bartlett (tenor), and Eric Coffelt (bass) will sing solo movements alongside several of the full choruses. The work is accompanied by strings and organ. In the second half of the program, the chorus has a few surprises in store, and rumor has it that a few novelties might appear. (Kazoos?!) This year, the program will also include opportunities for you to sing along.

Don’t miss this fabulous and festive concert, sure to put you in the holiday spirit. There’s a seat open for you!
