Weekend: UF Concert-Chorale to present a traditional Christmas concert
Millstream
The University of Findlay Concert-Chorale, comprised of more than 70 voices, will present "'Twas the Night Before Christmas," a traditional Christmas concert of familiar favorite seasonal carols and songs, 3 p.m. Sunday, at Winebrenner Theological Seminary.

Selections will include traditional pieces such as "Winter Wonderland," "Let It Snow," "Joy to the World," "O Come, All Ye Faithful," "Silent Night," "O Holy Night," "Silver Bells," "The Christmas Song" ("Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire") and "We Need a Little Christmas" from the Broadway musical "Mame."

Also featured in the performance will be the classic setting of the Clement Clark Moore poem "'Twas the Night Before Christmas," made famous by Fred Waring and his Pennsylvanians.

In addition, the concert will spotlight several contemporary Christmas favorites, such as "Grown-up Christmas List" and "Breath of Heaven," as well as the gospel spiritual "Jesus, What a Wonderful Child."

The concert will conclude with the timeless favorite "White Christmas."

Soloists include soprano Janelle Limber, a senior strength and conditioning major from Antwerp; soprano Shana Schnipke, a senior nuclear medicine major from Ottawa; and tenor Kirt Schnipke, a senior physical therapy major from Pandora.

Micheal F. Anders, Ph.D., professor of music, will conduct the concert. Sharon Vaas will accompany the group as pianist.
