We’ve enjoyed performing at several venues during the past few weeks.
On the Saturday after Thanksgiving, Pat pulled together some singers from Belle Weather and from Schola Cantorum to open up the holiday season at historic Highfield Hall. After a few joint rehearsals, we performed a light program of Christmas carols around the elegant Christmas tree in the parlor, filling the hall with sounds of the season as visitors admired the decorations. The audience, including several wide-eyed children, happily joined us on some sing-along pieces.
On the following day, at the invitation of music director John Yankee, we sang two of our favorite pieces during the 10:30 AM Sunday service at the John Wesley Methodist Church in Falmouth: “Sweet By and By” and “Shall We Gather at the River.” The positive response and appreciation we received afterwards at coffee hour was overwhelming.
Today, we performed a short Christmas program at the St. Barnabas Episcopal Church Christmas Fair, singing first for the luncheon crowd and then in the market area. We’re grateful to the church for the rehearsal room they invited us to use each week, and to music director Randolph James for his support.
We look forward to our final engagement before the holidays. It’s at the West Falmouth Library Holiday House Tour around noon on Sunday, December 14th. Event and ticket details are at www.westfalmouthlibrary.org.
