CAROLS FROM AROUND THE WORLD

The choir and handbell choir of Central Congregational Church with friends from surrounding communities are presenting a Christmas concert of Carols from Around the World on Sunday December 21 at 4:00 at the church.

The choir will sing carols from Scotland, France, Italy, Germany, Ukraine, and the United States. The centerpiece of the program is A Ceremony of Carols by England’s Benjamin Britten. A harp accompanies the work and adds a celestial touch.

“Some of the carols are very familiar such as Angels We Have Heard on High and O Come, O Come Emmanuel,” said Frances Burmeister, conductor. “Some are Advent carols and are less known. And there are a couple of new, cutting edge ones, too. These will stretch your mind in a good way.”

Tickets are $10 and students are free.

The Central Congregational Church parking lot is located off North Road (Route 4) at the foot of Fletcher Street. There is ample free, lighted parking and the building is handicapped accessible. For more information call the church at 978 256-5931.
