Sing Out! Island Community Chorus Holiday Concert

Continuing a tradition that dates to 1999, the Island Community Chorus takes to the stage of the Old Whaling Church on Dec. 1 and 2 to open the Christmas season with its 20th annual holiday concert.

Led by artistic director Peter Boak and with accompanist L. Garrett Brown at the piano, the chorus will sing a program of sacred and secular pieces in English, Latin and Hebrew. Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Saturday and 3 p.m. Sunday, and both shows will be followed by a reception downstairs in the Baylies Room featuring treats prepared by members of the choir.
