Lamplighters to host annual Christmas concert
WAYNESBURG – Waynesburg University’s Lamplighters concert choir and symphonic band will perform their annual Christmas concert at 7:30 p.m. Saturday in Roberts Chapel.
The choir will present J.S. Bach’s “Magnificat,” which tells the Christian Bible story of Mary singing to God. The 30-minute choral work will feature a variety of soloists.
Melanie Catana, director of choral music and instructor of vocal music, said the annual concert helps to spread Christmas cheer.
The symphonic band will perform a medley of classic and modern Christmas music, including songs from movies such as “The Polar Express,” “Frozen” and “The Theory of Everything.”
“I love the holiday season and am looking forward to sharing some marvelous music from various types of movie scores and all-time favorite carols of the season,” said Ronda DePriest, director of the symphonic band and the music program at Waynesburg University.
Doors open at 7 p.m., and admission is free. A reception will be held after the concert in the Marsh Center.
