The Pemigewasset Choral Society invites you to join us for our 40th Winter Holiday Season with a three-concert series beginning on Thursday, December 13, at 7:30 PM at Gilford Community Church. This performance will be followed with concerts on Friday, December 14, at 7:30 PM in Franklin at St Paul’s Roman Catholic Church, and Sunday, December 16, at  3 PM at Hanaway Theater in Silver Cultural Arts Center at Plymouth State University.

All concerts are open to the public, with admission by donation in Gilford and Franklin. General admission at Plymouth State University is $10. Tickets are available in advance by calling 535-ARTS. Remaining tickets will be available at the door.

This program, titled Peace On Earth, under the direction of Leslie McDonnell and assistant director William Gunn, with pianist Catharine Dorin, expresses this sincere wish for our planet through choral selections that span the globe. Join Pemi as we sing songs of peace and celebration from Russia, Africa, Scotland, Austria, and beyond to usher in this wonderful time of year.

Traditional pieces like Bach’s Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring and the 17th-century piece Let all Nations Praise the Lord, as arranged by Laura Hoggard, to the lighter tune of Ding Dong Merrily On High, arranged by Dr. Robert Swift, will lift the spirits of all who share this time with us.
