In celebration of the holiday season, The Community Chorus at South Berwick will be presenting their 50th annual holiday concert, “Snow Angel”, conducted by Dr. Amy Kotsonis on December 14th and 15th. Supported by 60 voices, the concert will feature holiday favorites including “For Unto Us A Child is Born” from Handel’s Messiah, as well as pieces by Andre Thomas, Randall Thompson, and John Rutter’s “The Very Best Time of the Year”.
The centerpiece of the concert will be “Snow Angel”, an evocative five movement choral work by Canadian composer and educator, Sarah Quartel. This beautiful and ethereal piece explores themes of love and rebirth through the eyes of children and the heavenly army of angels and is accompanied by cello, djembe, and piano.
