“Let Carols Ring” to Benefit the Food Basket Ministry

This Sunday, December 2, at 3 PM, the Hilo Community Chorus will perform their Christmas concert “Let Carols Ring” at the Church of the Holy Cross, 440 W. Lanikaula Street in Hilo.

“Let Carols Ring” is a program of Christmas music that has been re-arranged or newly written in the 21st century.  There are many familiar favorite Christmas tunes that will be performed in new arrangements, as well as new pieces such as Eric Barnum’s “Sweeter Still”  and John Rutter’s “Rejoice and Be Merry.”

Conductor Tom McAlexander says, “You will hear some of the most beautiful carols you’ve never heard, and some wonderful new twists on the older ones.”

The concert features accompaniment by Walter Greenwood on piano and organ, Rick Mazurowski on continuo, and Gerdine Markus and Laurel Rain on recorders.

Admission is free, although a calabash will be provided and donations of non-perishable food for the Food Basket Ministry will also be welcomed.
