TOGETHER AT CHRISTMAS The Charlotte Chorale is honored to be back on the stage presenting “Together At Christmas”. The moving music of the holidays reminds us how we treasure spending time with family and friends. We enjoy being together in the snow as depicted in the songs “Jingle Bells” and “Come On We’re Going For A Sleigh Ride”. Visiting with loved ones is very special as you will hear with “All I Want For Christmas Is You” and “When We’re Together”. Many gathered at the first Christmas in Bethlehem and we pay tribute to the manger gathering with “Run, Shepherds, Run!” and “Angels We Have Heard On High”. Let the joy of music bring us all together this holiday season. The concert is 90 minutes long including a 15-minute intermission and the choir will be accompanied by a musical combo. All performers will be wearing masks and audience members are all required to wear a mask. We hope you’ll join us so we can be “Together At Christmas”. The Charlotte Chorale, Inc. is 501 (c ) 3 non-profit performing arts organization which is comprised of auditioned singers who wish to enrich the community with sharing the joy of song. The Charlotte Chorale provides its audiences with an excellent choral experience by performing a wide array of music. Our mission is Make Great Music. Give Back. Our commitment to the community is present in our “Buy a Biscuit for a Soldier Program”. Each December the Charlotte Chorale donates thousands of sausage biscuits to the USO of NC to feed the soldiers as they travel to be together with their families. We will be promoting our “Buy A Biscuit” program at the concert. For more information about the Charlotte Chorale visit our website at www.CharlotteChoraleInc.org
