December Concert: CAROLING! CAROLING!
Dec. 5, 2010 3pm
A concert to warm the heart against a backdrop of snow and crystalline, starry nights. Christmas and other holiday music in
traditional and contemporary settings. Arrangements by the noted American composer, Katherine Hoover, of several European
traditional carols for Chorus and Brass Quartet. Christmas spirituals and gospel songs. And an audience sing-along of beloved
carols.
"This is a great way to start your holidays with the glorious sounds of music," says Pocono Choral friend Ellen Griffith. The PCS performance in December will be part of Centenary’s "’Tis the Season" celebration, featuring holiday activities throughout the day, beginning with the arrival of "St. Nicholas" at 3 PM and culminating in the "Grand Illumination" of the college’s Christmas tree at day’s end. "’Tis the Season" is an almost magical day at Centenary and in Hackettstown, and I can’t think of a better way to celebrate the holiday," stated
CSC Manager, Catherine Rust.
About The Pocono Choral Society
Begun in 1981, PCS has grown from a handful of singers to over 50 musicians, many of whom bring a wealth of experience as past
and present participants in other civic, religious and professional choirs and instrumental groups. PCS has performed throughout
the region for years, with additional notable performances in New York City and Atlantic City. In 1984, PCS toured Europe,
giving concerts in four different countries, and in 1992, the choral society sang throughout Nova Scotia. The group toured
and performed throughout the British Isles in 1996 and in 2001 toured and performed in Scandinavia. More recently, the PSC
joined the New York Choral Society, Uncle Yao's Chorus and the Zhi Yin Chorus for a performance of the Yellow River Cantata
at the Lincoln Center, Avery Fisher Hall.
