True Concord Voices and Orchestra performing “Christmas Lessons and Carols by Candlelight”
For its 13th season, True Concord will perform “Christmas Lessons and Carols by Candlelight,” a community-oriented event where nuance is expressed through candlelight and the audience caroling with the performers.
“This program tends to be a favorite with our audiences,” said music director Eric Holtan. “The performing spaces are small, so there is an intimacy to the setting which is enhanced by the candlelight and audience participation.”
This event, which runs from Thursday, Dec. 8, to Sunday, Dec. 11, provides locations, times and tickets online.
