Mendelssohn’s exquisite writing for women’s voices (“Laudate Pueri” and “Veni Pueri”) leads the concert\, giving way to sweeping arrangements of “Away in a Manger\,” “Angels We Have Heard on High\,” “Sing We Now of Christmas” and more. Witty and harmonically rich arrangements are heard in Michele Weir’s jazz versions of “Winter Wonderland\,” “I’ll Be Home for Christmas” and others.

Closing with a rousing carol sing-along\, the program is sure to please and add joy and warmth to a chilly winter afternoon. \n  \nCWC is pleased to announce our participation in the Mass Cultural Council’s Card to Culture program in collaboration with the Department of Transitional Assistance and hundreds of organizations by making cultural programming accessible to those for whom cost is a barrier.  We offer two $10 tickets per EBT cardholder. \n  \nFor more information\, performance details or to join Concord Women’s Chorus\, email manager@concordwomenschorus.org visit concordwomenschorus.org\, or follow Concord Women’s Chorus on Facebook and Instagram. \n  \nAbout Concord Women’s Chorus \nConcord Women’s Chorus (CWC)\, based in Concord\, Massachusetts\, is a 45-singer ensemble fostering the power in women’s voices through song. Singers hail from Concord and the greater Boston area. Artistic Director Jane Ring Frank conducts the chorus performing a wide variety of choral music\, ranging from early music to contemporary repertoire\, with an emphasis on works written for women’s voices. \n  \nThe chorus began in 1960 as the Concord Madrigals\, a small group of women who expressed\, through song\, the strength of female community. Over the years the group has increased in size and capacity and greatly expanded its repertoire. In 2005\, the Concord Madrigals became Concord Women’s Chorus\, a name that reflects not only the evolution of the chorus but the abiding power of women’s voices. \n  \nIn addition to concerts\, CWC often engages in other performances and projects. The ensemble has engaged in several concert tours in the United States\, Canada\, and Great Britain. For more information or to join CWC\, email manager@concordwomenschorus.org\, visit concordwomenschorus.org\, or follow Concord Women’s Chorus on Facebook and Instagram. \n

Buckley\, invites audiences to an afternoon of wonderful music\, holiday spirit\, and community singing. With professional soloists\, a chamber ensemble and pianist Edward Poston\, the chorus shares the glorious Christmas portion of Handel’s “Messiah\,” including the beloved “Hallelujah” chorus – and this time\, audience members won’t just listen\, they’ll have a chance to join in and sing it\, too! \n  \nThe holiday celebration also includes Judith Clurman and David Chase’s beautiful Hanukkah piece\, “Eight Days of Lights\,” familiar seasonal favorites\, and a joyful audience carol sing\, from “O Come\, All Ye Faithful” to “Jingle Bells” and “Deck the Hall.” Bringing audiences together across traditions\, generations\, and musical tastes\, there’s something for everyone – whether a love of the grandeur of “Messiah\,” the warmth of a familiar carol\, or the fun of singing with a crowd. \n  \nAbout Choral Art Society of the South Shore \nis an educational\, non-profit organization dedicated to bringing outstanding choral music to the picturesque communities of Massachusetts’ South Shore. Our members and audience are from every community in the area\,  including the many cities and towns of Norfolk and Plymouth Counties. Averaging 60 members\, CAS has been a stalwart in the New England choral community since 1958. For more than 65 years\, CAS has performed an extensive repertoire of choral music from the Renaissance to the 21st century with professional orchestra and soloists. Known for the exceptional quality of its concerts\, CAS has set the standard on the South Shore. \n  \nCAS singers and audiences experience the great classical works of such composers as Bach\, Mozart\, Beethoven\, Vivaldi\, Brahms\, Fauré\, Haydn\, Puccini\, and Schubert as well as more contemporary composers such as Britten\, Rutter\, and Vaughan Williams. No two concerts are alike\, and they represent musical offerings that span hundreds of years\, a multitude of nationalities\, and musical styles from oratorios to American spirituals. The quality of CAS concerts springs from a single common bond shared by all members — a love of singing and sharing outstanding music with our community. From the known to the new; from the emotional power of large choral works to the tenderness of smaller a cappella pieces; from dramatic and innovative contemporary works to lighthearted seasonal music — CAS does it all. \n  \nWe welcome singers of all ages twice a year ahead of our Winter and Spring concert seasons (once in September and once in January). Our members have a wide range of musical experience — though previous training and choral singing is helpful; it is not a requirement to sing. Each season begins with two open rehearsals that allow new people to join us in song. Members are always welcome to sing in one or both seasons.  Learn more at choralartsociety.org. \n
