Bethel UCC and Bethel Learning Center Present Free Kinder Concert
Pianist Jeffrey Panko and narrator Jenny Riddle will bring the story of the Nutcracker to life through word and Tchaikovsky's beloved music.

Familiar and well-loved music from Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker Suite will be featured in the second performance of a new Kinder Concert Series at Bethel United Church of Christ in Elmhurst on Friday, December 20, from 4:00-4:30 pm in the church sanctuary. A special invitation is extended to children and their families as well as members of the community of all ages.
Bethel’s Minister of Music, pianist Jeffrey Panko, and narrator Jenny Riddle, well-known throughout Chicagoland for her dramatic book reviews, will bring the story of the Nutcracker to life through word and music, a perfect way to celebrate the season.
There is no admission charge for the concert, but a free-will donation of $5 per family is suggested. Monies donated at the event will go to scholarships for BLC students.
