|
| Lancaster County's oldest community chorus is celebrating its 39th year with several performances during the Christmas season. |
|
|
| The Marietta Community Chorus will present "Unto Us a Child Is Born" by Ron Huff as its annual Christmas cantata at the Maytown St. John's Evangelical Luthernan Church, Queen Street, at 7:00 p.m. on Sunday, December 9th. |
|
|
| Leonard Smith will direct the chorus with Keith Smith serving as accompanist. |
|
|
| Soloists for the cantana will be Rose Barr and Beth Fry, sopranos; Janelle Hollinger, alto; Robert Stoner, tenor; and Larry Garber bass.
The men's chorus will sing "O Holy Night". |
|
|
| The cantata was previously presented to the residents of Longwood Manor, Maytown, St. John Herr's Estate and St. Anne's Home, Columbia during the last few weeks. |
|
|
| The group formed in August 1962 as the Marietta Sesquicentennial Chorus to celebrate the borough's 150th anniversary.
During the opening ceremonies, the group sang patriotic and sacred music. |
|
|
| The choir decided to continue as the Marietta Community Chorus and performed its first Christmas cantata in December 1962.
Since then, the chorus has presented cantatas annually at Christmas and Easter. |
|
|
| All contributions made to the chorus during performances are used to purchase music and offset expenses.
In addition, the group presents a $50 award annually to a graduating Donegal High School student pursuing a career in music. |
