Chorale Christmas and Holiday Concert to be held Dec. 10
Join The Norristown Chorale for their Christmas and Holiday concert at 7 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 10, at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church, 1809 Hoffmansville Road, Sassamansville. The chorus of 60 voices will offer a concert titled, “The Work of Christmas” in which the work of the characters in the Christmas story will be explored and what we can take away from that work and apply into our own lives, our families and our world.
Musical selections will range from sacred to secular, with highlights to include: “Angels We Have Heard on High”, “Do You Hear What I Hear”, and “I Saw Three Ships” to seasonal favorites such as “Santa Claus is Comin’ to Town” and “Believe” from the movie The Polar Express.
