Goshen College will present the 20th annual musical celebration of Christmas, “A Festival of Carols,” on Friday, Dec. 1 and Saturday, Dec. 2 at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, Dec. 3 at 4 p.m. in the Music Center’s Sauder Concert Hall.
This special celebration of the holiday season will feature four choirs and an orchestra, along with audience participation on traditional carols, all in a concert hall festively decorated with garlands, lights and trees.
“A Festival of Carols” is patterned on a traditional English worship service, and features Christmas carols, spirituals, scripture readings and sacred works of music for the holiday season. Performers include the Goshen College Chamber Choir, Vox Profundi, Voices of the Earth, Goshen College Symphony Orchestra and Shout For Joy Children’s Choir. The audience will also be invited to join the choirs to sing familiar carols during the performance.
Goshen College choirs are directed by Roz Woll and Scott Hochstetler, and the Goshen College Symphony Orchestra is directed by Richard Brunson. Shout for Joy Children’s Choir is directed by Sandy Hill.
The Sunday afternoon performance will be live-streamed on Goshen College’s website.
