Chorus of Dorchester Christmas Concert

Free holiday concert! 
This year’s concert, “Christmas Is...” aims to rekindle the joy of Christmas in each of us with well-loved favorites such as “Oh, Come all Ye Faithful” (prepare to sing along!), “White Christmas”, and a whimsical offering of “We Wish You a Merry Christmas”. The joy of the Nativity story is expressed in the stirring “Hodie Christus Natus Est” (Today Christ is Born) and British composer John Rutter’s liltingly beautiful “Angel’s Carol”.  The 77 voices of the all-volunteer Chorus offer this free concert out of a love of singing and a desire to share the wonder of the season with our community. Have you ever had the thrill of singing Handel’s “Hallelujah Chorus”? Then come prepared to step up and join in the concert finale. Music will be provided.
Since 1975 the Chorus of Dorchester has been bringing together Dorchester County residents and friends from Talbot, Caroline, and  Somerset Counties. Members range from middle schoolers to senior citizens, all united by a shared love of singing. It includes those who have participated since the Chorus’ inception in 1975 as well as a number who have been welcomed for the first time this year. The Chorus is under the direction of Cookie Brohawn, accompanied by Laura Todd on piano and Barbara Hubbard on organ, and funded by the Nathan Foundation.
