GREENSBORO, N.C. – The community is invited to join five UNCG choirs for the annual Holiday Choral Concert.

The event will take place on Sunday, Dec. 2, at 5 p.m. at the First Presbyterian Church in Greensboro.

The concert features the UNCG Chamber Singers, University Chorale, Women’s Choir and Men’s and Women’s Glee Clubs. The music showcases traditional and contemporary choral music.

More than 200 voices will be heard during the concert, which includes a festive sing-a-long of holiday favorites such as “Joy to the World,” “O Come, All Ye Faithful,” and “Hark the Herald Angels Sing” in addition to other performed choral works.

“This concert is a wonderful way for the public to join the UNCG community in celebrating the vocal traditions of the season,” said Dr. Welborn E. Young, director of choral activities and associate professor of music. “It’s a wonderful holiday gift to the community from the School of Music.”

This year’s concert will feature a processional by North Carolina composer and music educator Lara Hoggard. All choirs will be featured together in a performance of Mack Wilberg's arrangement of “Angels We Have Heard on High.”

The First Presbyterian Church is located at 617 N. Elm St. in Greensboro. The concert is free and open to the public. No tickets are required. For more information, call (336) 334-5493 or visit www.uncg.edu/mus.
