According to choir director Tim Williams, “This year’s concert is an exploration of darkness,” rather than a holiday song festival.
Performed just days before the winter solstice, the concert titled “A Winter’s Darkness,” features the choirs and a number of soloists singing about “the less cheery aspects of life,” Williams said. “We will feature very challenging works by modern composers such as Samuel Barber and Eugene Orban, as well as some more classic pieces by Mozart and Pergolesi.”
