The sounds of the season are all around and you can enjoy them this weekend at First Baptist Church in Cornelia. The church, located at 325 Oak Street, will host its annual community Christmas concert at 5 p.m. on Sunday, December 3.
Song of the Angels is the theme of this year’s concert, according to First Baptist Minister of Worship & Music Randy LeBlanc.
“As I gathered the music for this year, I noticed how often ‘angels’ appeared throughout the songs, thus the concert title Song of the Angels,” said LeBlanc. “I am excited to feature the orchestra in a delightful original composition, ‘Angels Dance’ by Steve Amundson, recently retired orchestra director of St. Olaf’s College.”
This will be LeBlanc’s sixth Christmas concert with the choir and orchestra.
“As with past concerts, this year there will be plenty of Christmas Carol favorites, including a wonderful audience carol sing-along accompanied by the professional chamber orchestra assembled by Heather Strachan, Artist in Residence at Piedmont University,” said LeBlanc. “Each year, we also welcome area choral ‘friends’ who join with the Sanctuary Choir to expand our Christmas repertoire.”
The event is free; donations can be made to the Music Ministry of First Baptist Church.
