Fall concerts at Prince of Peace in December

By Londa Jacques

Prince of Peace and many other local area churches host a concert series throughout the year. Churches typically have tremendous acoustics, and fine musicians and instruments, and are happy to share them with the community. 

These concerts are one of Shoreline’s best kept secrets, are open to the public, and are often under-publicized and under-attended. Many are performed by voices and musicians you’d pay to see at the Symphony or the Opera. 

So, if you are a music lover who is on a limited budget, do check out the local church near you and take advantage of some wonderful concert opportunities such as these offered at Prince of Peace later this fall:

• Sunday, December 4, 2011 at 4:00 pm

Prince of Peace Choir along with several guest singers and soloists, present The Messiah. This year’s Hallelujah Chorus finale will be a sing-along. Freewill offering.

• Sunday, December 18, 2011 at 7:00 pm

Cascadian Chorale presents Cascadian Carols, including carols by local composers Bern Herbolsheimer, Linda Gingrich, David Hahn, and Chris Fraley. Music of Gustav Holst, Zoltán Kodály, Norman Luboff, Wiliam Averitt, and P.D.Q. Bach rounds out an evening of Christmas splendor and joy. 

Tickets available through Cascadian Chorale website.
