Odenton Church Choir, Orchestra to Perform Christmas Cantata

From a news release:

Join the Ark and Dove Choir and Orchestra for a Christmas Cantata, “Appalachian Winter.”

The performance will begin at 6 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 14, at Ark and Dove Presbyterian Church, 8424 Piney Orchard Parkway in Odenton.

This concert is free and open to the public.

Composed in the spirit of folk music, this cantata combines traditional sounds with more rustic elements, creating a blend that is fresh and pleasing. Popular American carols like Away in a Manger and O Little Town of Bethlehem dance with traditional spirituals such as Children, Go Where I Send Thee and Go, Tell It on the Mountain.

Sacred Harp tunes are retooled for Advent and stand alongside new versions of Shaker hymns and Appalachian melodies. Thoughtful narration weaves the movements together in a meaningful tapestry of song and Scripture.
