Info:
Harmony Fusion Chorus, a women's barbershop chorus and chapter of Sweet Adelines International, presents an afternoon of carols and popular holiday songs. Joining the chorus is the Tri-Valley's own award-winning Cantabella Children's Chorus Honors Choir, as well as Ladies First, an award-wining young women's barbershop chorus from Concord. A guest reception immediately follows the performance.
"This will be an exciting concert featuring two premier youth choruses as well as Harmony Fusion Chorus (HFC) and its associated small groups and quartets," says Carrie Shaeffer, concert chairperson and HFC member. "The concert will offer a variety of holiday music and styles, something for everyone."
The chorus' performance will feature holiday favorites such as Sleigh Ride, and Winter Wonderland, familiar carols such as Carol of the Bells, and Chocolate in My Stocking a holiday song in the barbershop style.
Joining HFC in the "Prelude to Winter" concert is the Cantabella Children's Chorus Honors Choir and Ladies First barbershop chorus from Concord High School, both award-winning choruses.
Though the "Prelude to Winter" concert may seem to occur a bit early in the season, concert chairperson Shaeffer says otherwise. "This concert offers the community a great opportunity to relax and enjoy holiday music before getting into the hectic season of shopping and parties. It will be an wonderful afternoon of music for all to enjoy, regardless of the date."
The Cantabella Honors Choir, directed by Eileen Chang, will share a few excerpts from an exciting carol sequence by Welsh composer William Mathias (1934-1992) in the great tradition of A Ceremony of Carols by Benjamin Britten, as well as Dancing Day by John Rutter. This work will be followed by two very familiar carols, Patapan and It's The Most Wonderful Time of the Year!
Ladies First, directed by Christian Emigh, will perform a selection of holiday music sung in the barbershop style
