November 30, 2009 -- On Monday, December 21 at 7 p.m., the Laurel Lake Encore Chorale and Ensembelle will present an evening holiday concert you won't want to miss! The event will be held at Laurel Lake Retirement Community, 200 Laurel Lake Drive in Hudson, and is free and open to the public.
The Encore Chorale features fifty wonderful singers age 55 and older from Hudson, Cuyahoga Falls, Twinsburg and neighboring cities, and is the first National Affiliate of Encore Creativity for Older Adults (www.encorecreativity.org). Ensembelle, a remarkable handbell quartet from the First United Methodist Church of Cuyahoga Falls, rings on four octaves of Schumerlich bells and has performed widely throughout the Greater Akron area.
The concert offers something for everyone, including beautiful new works like Nicholas Myer's "The Winter's Night"; favorites such as the traditional French carol "What Is This Lovely Fragrance?" by Hal Hopson, "Go Tell It On The Mountain" by Howard Helvey, "Do You Hear What I Hear?" by Harry Simeone and "Carol of the Bells" by Charles Maggs; and popular songs aplenty with Sammy Cahn's "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!," Irving Berlin's "White Christmas" and Jame's Eliot's "Over the River and Through the Woods."
Audience members are invited to join the musicians for light refreshments following the concert. To learn more about the Laurel Lake Encore Chorale or express an interest in joining, call 330-655-1436 or email info@laurellake.org.
