Towne Singers holiday concert Dec. 5 in Pasadena

˜Tis the season! Immerse yourself in the holiday spirit when the Towne Singers present their annual holiday concert, "Christmas Is a Feeling," on December 5.

Beth Richey, music director of the Towne Singers, is very excited about the program this year. "The chorus continues to grow in size and capabilities each year," she states. "This holiday concert will be a wonderful treat for everyone."

The music for this concert was chosen to accentuate all those great emotions we feel during the season. A festive blend of traditional, humorous, contemporary, and spiritual pieces will bring to mind everything we love best about this time of year: snow-laden evergreens, mulled cider, colorful lights, sleigh bells, family gathered around the table, and of course our favorite holiday carols.

Specific highlights include Glory, Glory by Moses Hogan, an exquisite arrangement of Angels We Have Heard on High, a rollicking rendition of Up on the Housetop, and a very lively version of the Twelve Days of Christmas. Jolly old Saint Nick will be making a special visit, so bring the whole family. The more, the merrier!

The concert venue is the beautiful First United Methodist Church in Pasadena. Built in 1912, this church provides a warm ambiance, great acoustics, comfortable seating, easy parking, and an excellent view of the show for all.

Tickets for "Christmas Is a Feeling" may be purchased by calling (818) 952-2429, or visit www.TowneSingers.org. First United Methodist Church is located at 500 East Colorado Boulevard in Pasadena. Ticket prices are $20 at the door or $15 in advance. Children under age 10 are $8.
