The St. Andrew’s United Church Performing Arts team is set to present its 13rd annual Christmas concert, “A Celtic Christmas,” on Saturday.
The event takes place at 7 p.m. at the Chatham Capitol Theatre.
Devon Hansen, director of music at St. Andrew’s, has once again planned, and will direct, this festive celebration that brings together more than 140 community members performing in St. Andrew’s Concert Choir, the C-K Chamber Orchestra, and the Bel Canto Children’s Choirs.
In addition several local musicians will perform solos, duets and trios.
In keeping with the Celtic theme, dancers from the Cornell School of Irish Dance will add their talents to the program.
“This year’s concert will be a true reminder of the talent that exists in our community and the joy music brings to people, especially at Christmas,” Hansen said in a media release. “The music will truly uplift and inspire each and every person in the audience.”
The audience will enjoy favourite Christmas carols and seasonal music.
Tickets ($30) are available from the Capitol Theatre box office located at the Cultural Centre on William St. or from www.cktickets.com. Children 12 and under are free.
There are a limited number of tickets left.
Proceeds go towards the music program at St. Andrew’s.
