Celtic Holiday Choral Concerts, Dec 21 and Jan 5
The choirs from Georgetown Lutheran Church and Cleveland Park Congregational UCC are joining to perform two benefit concerts featuring Celtic Christmas music this holiday season. They will be accompanied by a fiddler, flutist, drummer and pianist for a lively program.
Dec. 21, 2 pm - Cleveland Park Congregational UCC, 3400 Lowell St. NW
Jan. 5, 4 pm - Georgetown Lutheran Church, 1556 Wisconsin Ave. NW
Our choir has spent several months working on a newly published, multi-movement work titled Light of Peace. It weaves together familiar hymn tunes from Irish and Scottish traditions with Celtic reels and airs. The lyrics assert that our proper response to Christmas is to live a life of love in action. The lively work is accompanied by flute, violin, drum and piano.
Our choir will present Light of Peace at the Jan 5 concert in conjunction with the choir of Cleveland Park UCC. Additional pieces for Celtic harp, flute, piano and voice are also on the program.
The concerts will support Friendship Place and St. Paul’s Food Pantry. We invite your financial donations and contributions of nonperishable food and toiletries. For more information, speak with music director Pat Henry.
