Bay Area Choral Society to perform at Carnegie Hall
Members of the Bay Area Choral Society will travel on Friday, Nov. 29, to New York City to perform at Carnegie Hall.
The group will participate in two half-days of rehearsals and clinics on Saturday and Sunday with the performance on Monday, Dec. 2.
The society will be part of a 200-member choir and will perform the cantata “A Weary World Rejoices.” written and conducted by Joseph Martin. This cantata was orchestrated by Ed Hogan who was commissioned last year by the society to write “The Maker’s Song” that was performed at the group’s Spring concert.
This year’s Bay Area Choral Society Christmas Concert, “In The Mood for Christmas!” will be Friday, Dec. 13, at 6 p.m. ET at First United Methodist Church in Port St. Joe and Sunday, Dec. 15, at 4 p.m. at Trinity Episcopal Church in Apalachicola.
The concert, which opens with the cantata performed at Carnegie Hall, will include popular Christmas songs with full choir, solos and ensembles. There will also be orchestral accompaniment by students from Florida State University.
Tickets, now on sale, are $20 ($5 for students) and can be purchased from members of BACS or at either BACS-PSJ.eventbrite.com, or BACS-Trinity.eventbrite.com
