North Country Chorus celebrates 70th season with Bach!

The Christmas Oratorio by J.S. Bach   (sung in English)

“Christians, be joyful, and praise your salvation.” So begins J.S.
Bach’s rousing first cantata in the Christmas Oratorio. The trumpets
blare, the timpani boom, and the 75 voices of the North Country Chorus
announce the celebration of Christ’s birth.

* 7:30 pm on Friday 1 December at First Congregational Church, Littleton
* 7:30 pm on Saturday 2 December at Wells River Congregational Church
* 4 pm on Sunday 3 December at Peacham Congregational Church

Tickets in advance through catamountix.org : $12
($5 students)
Admission at the door: $15 ($5 students)

In addition to exuberant choruses, audiences will enjoy reflective
chorales, many familiar to the ear as popular hymn tunes, as well as
arias and recitatives from the soloists: soprano Julie Drown,
mezzo-soprano Katharine DeBoer, tenor Phil Brown, and bass Lucas Weiss.
Chorus, soloists and orchestra will be directed by Alan Rowe.
