“An 1816 Christmas” – Tay Valley Choir’s Christmas Concert!

Nov 30, 2016

The Tay Valley Community Choir is pleased to once again stage a Christmas concert, this year titled An 1816 Christmas to help celebrate the 200th Anniversary of the founding of Tay Valley Township. The Choir has selected a series of songs for everyone to enjoy, ranging from some that the settlers of long ago might have sung to help them through “the bleak mid-winter,” to modern-day arrangements that spread joy around the hearth. 

“For this concert our choir will be even larger than last year’s,” says conductor Rebecca Worden. “Get ready for a big holiday sound that will reach out and embrace you! Also come ready to sing along with favourites for this time of year. We're really looking forward to a beautiful evening in Maberly Community Hall!”

Accompanying the choir once again will be skilled pianist, Mary Lou Carroll. Several choir members will have solo singing opportunities and joining as a special guest will be flautist Jane Cunningham. As well, word has it that Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus—and possibly also The Grinch—will make an appearance! Oh, and The Andrew Sisters and Elvis will be on hand, too!

An 1816 Christmas will take place Saturday December 10th at 7:00pm at Maberly Community Hall.  Admission is $10 per person and refreshments will be on hand following the concert. Food or other donations to The Table can be made that evening and will be most welcome. Special thanks to Tay Valley Township and Blue Skies in the Community for supporting this event!
