Concert scheduled in Troy

The Mansfield University Music Department will spread the sounds of the season across the Northern Tier with its annual holiday choral concert on Saturday, Dec. 5, and Sunday, Dec. 6. A performance in Troy is scheduled.

The Saturday performance will be at 7:30 p.m. in Steadman Theatre on the MU campus. The Sunday performance will be held at 7:30 p.m. in the Troy High School Auditorium.

More than 200 musicians under the direction of Peggy Dettwiler, director of choral activities, will be involved in the performances.

The theme for this year's concert is "Love Came Down," which will be captured in a mixture of classical and popular pieces sung at times under candlelight.

Selections by Bach, Mendelssohn, Bruckner, Howells and Hogan, as well as other familiar holiday favorites for men's, women's, and mixed choirs from the Renaissance period to the 21st century that describe love in the sacred and secular world will resound from Steadman Theatre and the Troy High School Auditorium.

The choirs will combine for a celebratory finale titled "Rejoice," written for voices, brass, organ and percussion by Gwyneth Walker.

Familiar carols and hymns for audience participation will add to the holiday spirit.

Tickets are $10 for adults, $8 for seniors and $5 for students and children.

Tickets are available online at music.mansfield.edu or by calling (570) 662-4710.

Due to the popularity of the holiday concert, patrons are encouraged to purchase tickets in advance and arrive 30 minutes before concert time at each venue.
