Music in the Somerset Hills presents a Holiday Concert for All Ages

On Saturday, December 21, 2013 at 7:00 pm at St. John on the
Mountain Church in Bernardsville, Music in the Somerset Hills will ring in the
season with a holiday concert and carol-sing to delight audiences of all ages.
Organist Brian Harlow and the Somerset Hills Brass Ensemble will perform a
festive program of holiday music by Gabrieli, Praetorius and Bach, along with
well-loved yuletide favorites, contrasting the brightness of St. John on the
Mountain's Petty Madden pipe organ with the mellow, sonorous tone of brass
instruments. The audience will be invited to join in the fun by singing
Christmas carols with the instrumentalists. 
Tickets are $20 each for adults, $15 for seniors, and $10 for
students.  They may be purchased online
at www.MusicSH.org, or at the door while
supplies last. 



Net proceeds from the concert directly benefit the many
artistic and education programs provided by Music in the Somerset Hills,
including its year-long music workshops for people of all ages, and its summer instrumental,
vocal and music technology camps for young people.
