Goshen College’s sixth annual musical celebration of Christmas, “A Festival of Carols,” is scheduled for Dec. 4 and 5 at 7:30 p.m. and Dec. 6 at 4 p.m.

This celebration of the holiday season will feature five choirs and an orchestra, along with audience participation on traditional carols, all in a concert hall decorated with garlands, lights and trees.

“A Festival of Carols” is patterned on a traditional English worship service, and features Christmas carols, spirituals, Scripture readings and works by Handel, Francisco Guererro, Paul Basler, Morten Lauridsen, Steven Sametz, Harold Darke, Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy and more.

Performers will include the Goshen College Chorale, Chamber Choir, Men’s Chorus, Women’s World Music Choir, the Goshen College Orchestra and the Shout For Joy Children’s Choir. The audience will also be invited to join the choirs to sing familiar carols during the performance.

Goshen College Choirs are directed by Debra Brubaker and Scott Hochstetler, and the Goshen College Orchestra is directed by Gregg Thaller. Shout for Joy Children’s Choir is directed by Sandy Hill.

The Goshen College Flute Choir, directed by Rebecca Hovan, will provide pre-concert music from the Sauder Concert Hall lobby.

Reserved seating tickets are available for $14 by calling the Goshen College Welcome Center at 535-7566.
