The program includes arrangements celebrating Hanukkah, Christmas and the Winter Season. We will be accompanied by 2 violins, viola, cello, bass, flute, and of COURSE, Ron Bryant on piano. The concert opens with "God Bless Us Everyone" from Disney's "A Christmas Carol" with the lyrics: "Come together, one and all, in the season's spirit. Gifts abound here, great and small; joyously we feel it." Concert highlights include: a Mark Hayes arrangement of "Winter Wonderland of Snow" a mash up of our title song, "Winter Wonderland" and a winter favorite, "Let it Snow". "White Is in the Winter Night", by Enya has her signature flowing Celtic melody. "In the Bleak Mid-Winter" an arrangement by Frank Proctor, one of Allegro's tenor singers. A new Hanukkah piece for Allegro Chorus, "Celebration of Light" by Joseph Martin. "Love's Pure Light" by Elaine Hagenberg, who has set the words of "Silent Night" to a beautiful new melody. A rollicking arrangement of "Here We Come A-Caroling” joyously closes the concert. Allegro's 130-voice chorus is under the direction of Merry Keller
