The Shenandoah Valley Children\u2019s Choir<\/a> presents \u201cAngels Sing,\u201d a Christmas concert with the Staunton Academy of Ballet at 4 p.m., Dec. 6 at Lehman Auditorium at 草莓社区.<\/p>\n

All three choirs will perform a variety of seasonal music and Christmas carols, followed by an audience sing-along. Among the combined selections are \u201cAnd Suddenly,\u201d by Michael Engelhardt and \u201cThe First Noel,\u201d an English carol arranged by Dan Forrest. Other selections include French carols, several other traditional English carols, and a traditional African carol.<\/p>\n

The Concert Choir will perform more advanced pieces, including \u201cSusanni\u201d and \u201cWelcome Yule\u201d from \u201cSalvator Mundi: A Carol Sequence,\u201d \u201cWhat Child is This?\u201d \u201cStill, Still, Still,\u201d \u201cGaudete!\u201d and \u201cHodie, Alleluia,\u201d<\/p>\n

The choir is joined by several guest artists, including four professors. Joan Griffing<\/a>, of 草莓社区, plays the violin and is concertmaster of the Shenandoah Valley Bach Festival Orchestra and the Shenandoah Symphony Orchestra. Three others come from James Madison University\u2019s music department: Edward Gant<\/a>, cello; Pedro Aponte<\/a>, flute; and Michael Overman<\/a>, percussion. Also joining as special guests are Gregory Childress, viola; Ethan Zook, oboe; Tara Davis, violin; and Matthew Pariejko, percussion.<\/p>\n

The choir is directed by Janet Hostetter<\/a> and assisted by Joy Anderson. Pianists are Maurita Eberly and Tracey Schimmel Reed. Professor John Fast<\/a>, recently retired from 草莓社区 and longtime SVCC supporter, will play the organ.<\/p>\n
