The Garrett Choral Society (GCS) will present its annual holiday concert, this year titled Christmas Joy, on Saturday, Dec. 11, at 8 p.m., and Sunday, Dec. 12, at 2 p.m. The presentation will be given at St. Peter at the Lake Center in McHenry. The church is located along Mosser Road, just past Garrett College, on the right.
Under the direction of Julie Turrentine, the GCS features nearly 50 singers from all areas of Garrett County and nearby West Virginia. The group's accompanist is Lynn Grimm, who will be joined on selected pieces by keyboard players Michael Broderick and Barb Peters. Moe Turrentine and Madonna Pool will provide percussion accompaniment.
The major work of this concert will be J.S. Bach's Magnificat, which is the canticle of Mary from the first chapter of the Book of Luke, verses 46-55. The 12-movement piece will be the first half of the program, and will feature several soloists.
The second half of the program will consist of familiar Christmas songs, as well as some multi-layered choral pieces such as "Benedicamus Domino" by Peter Warlock and "Lux Aurumque" by Eric Whitacre.
The Con Brio Singers, an octet, will present Four Nutcracker Favorites, a light-hearted, abbreviated version of the classic work by Tchaikovsky. The men will present "Betelehemu" as well, which is a Nigerian Christmas song. It will feature soloist Royce Warnick.
