Organization: Pine Tones Chorus
Where: Community Church at Ocean Pines | 11227 Racetrack Rd, Berlin, MD 21811
The Pine Tones Chorus is bubbling with excitement for this fall’s family-friendly concert, The JOY of Christmas! As their annual holiday gift to the community, admission is free to all, though the group will gratefully accept a goodwill offering to help defray expenses. Doors will open at 6:45, and seating for the concert is first-come, first-served.
Though officially an amateur community chorale, under the expert direction of Jenny Anderson, the 55 talented and dedicated singers strike a perfect balance between professional quality and light-hearted enjoyment. This uplifting approach has kept audiences coming back for more than 40 years.
The fall concert features a mix of full chorus and ensemble performances accompanied by live musicians and will include both sacred and secular music of the season. In addition to traditional favorites, such as It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year, Let it Snow, and the Hallelujah Chorus, listeners will be treated to some beautiful new pieces as well as some familiar songs done in surprising and delightful new ways. The audience will be invited to join in singing Joy to the World, Angels We Have Heard on High, and Silent Night.
As a local, all-volunteer non-profit arts organization, the Pine Tones Chorus presents both Spring and Fall concerts every year and each season they also travel to several area senior centers to share the joy of music with those who are not able to come to the shows.
This season is supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts, through the Maryland State Arts Council and the Worcester County Arts Council, as well as the Choptank Foundation and the E. Bowen and Frances H. Quillin Foundation.
