FARMVILLE, Va. - The Commonwealth Chorale of Virginia will begin a new season of rehearsals on Tuesday, Sept. 10, at 7 p.m. at Farmville Presbyterian Church. Area singers interested in joining the Chorale are invited to attend.

This year’s Christmas concert, “To Hear the Angels Sing,” will be presented in two afternoon concerts on Dec. 7, 4 p.m., at Crenshaw United Methodist Church, Blackstone, and Dec. 8, 4 p.m., at Farmville United Methodist Church.

“I am very pleased to begin working with singers on music that promises to bring the joy and happiness of the Christmas season to our audiences,” Chorale Artistic Director Carol J. Henderson said.

This year’s concerts combine classical repertoire with contemporary Christmas favorites.

“This year’s concert will feature sections from the lightly festive Joseph Haydn ‘G Major Mass,’” Henderson said. “With delightful choruses and solos, this music is uplifting — a truly fitting introduction to the holiday season.”

For more information on the Commonwealth Chorale visit the chorale’s booth at the Heart of Virginia Festival in Farmville on Sept. 14. Further information and concert updates will also be posted on www.commonwealthchorale.org and the Commonwealth Chorale of Virginia Facebook page.
