The Sweetwater Singers will present their annual Christmas concert on Friday, December 9 at 8:00 pm at First Baptist Church of Lithia Springs, 10531 Veterans Memorial Hwy, Lithia Springs, GA 30122.
In addition to 50 singers from Douglas, Carroll, Cobb and Paulding Counties, the program will feature the New Manchester High School Fame Jaguar Singers, soloist Taya Taylor, harpist LeAndra Douds and other instrumentation. Sandra Chandler will direct the concert.
The choir will perform classics such as Deck the Halls, Joy to the World and the Hallelujah Chorus, as well as a compelling and exciting American cantata called Angel Band. Composed by Tim Sharp and Timothy Powell Rutter, it tells the Christmas story with Appalachian, Celtic and Moravian tunes and instruments such as hammered dulcimer, fiddle, mandolin and guitar, just to name a few. It is a feast for eyes and ears.
“What better way to start the holiday season!” says Sandra Chandler. “Regardless of your musical preferences, the beauty of this music, from Vivaldi to contemporary a cappella, the beauty of this choir will surprise and inspire you. We are thrilled to perform with Antwoin Holman and the Jaguar Singers. The audience will have a part in this performance as well. Please come, listen and sing with us.”
