Two great holiday concerts - in one day!

 

The Finger Lakes Camerata, a choral group based at Finger Lakes Community College, will give two community holiday concerts in one day Sun, Dec. 8.

 

"I'm calling this concert 'Old Wine in New Bottles' because they are familiar carols with new musical settings, old favorites that will sound just a bit different," said Dennis Maxfield, director of the Camerata and an adjunct music faculty member at FLCC. The first concert of Dec. 8 takes place at 3 p.m. at the Farmington Friends Church, 187 County Road 8, Farmington. Just a few hours later at 7 p.m., the Camerata will perform at St. John's Episcopal Church, 183 N. Main St., Canandaigua.

 

Selections include "Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus," "Bring a Torch, Jeannette, Isabella," "Away in a Manger," "Rise Up, Shepherd, and Follow," "The Birthday of a King," "What Child is This," and, of course, "Silent Night."  Read more here!

Last Event!
