SEQUIM — From the “Hallelujah” chorus from Handel’s “Messiah” to local composer Karen Williamson’s “A Song of Peace,” the Sequim Community Christmas Chorus’ annual concerts will cover a range of sacred Christmas music in three public concerts this weekend.
The venue is the Seventh Day Adventist Church, 30 Sanford Lane, at 7:30 tonight and at 3 p.m. both Saturday and Sunday. Advance tickets are on sale for $5 at Bauer Interior Design, the Sequim Visitor Information Center and Hart’s Fine Books, all in Sequim, and at Elliott’s Antique Emporium, 135 E. First St., Port Angeles. Children under 12 are invited to come free, however.
If still available, tickets will be sold at the door shortly before each concert starts, for a suggested $5 donation.
Gary McRoberts is the director of this 31st annual Sequim Community Christmas Chorus program, while Kayla Layer is the accompanist and Gail Sumpter is the coordinator of the 64-voice chorus.
As is traditional, a portion of proceeds from ticket sales will support local charities; the chorus will make a donation to Sequim Community Aid and to the Shipley Center scholarship fund for memberships for low-income seniors.
