The Williamsport Civic Chorus ushers in a new era with a salute to America's 250th birthday on Nov. 22.
"Harvest Home" begins at 3 p.m., Nov. 22 -- the Sunday of Victorian Christmas -- at St. Luke's Lutheran Church, 1400 Market St., Williamsport.
"Our concert, 'Harvest Home,' also marks the debut of our new choir director, Michael Welch," a news release from the organization noted.
"Harvest Home" is a celebration of American musical composition, featuring works ranging from the evocative and reflective Frostiana, drawn from the poetry of Robert Frost, to the rousing and familiar "Let the River Run," composed by Carly Simon and Craig Hella Johnson for the movie "Working Girl." In between, the audience will enjoy an eclectic mix of choral works, among them the hauntingly beautiful "All My Heart this Night Rejoices" by Z. Randall Stroope and the energetic "Everytime I Feel the Spirit," by the former director of the Tuskeegee Institute School of Music, William Dawson.
"The selection of music promises to reflect the myriad musical traditions at work in our great country," the news release said.
Tickets will be available at the door, but discounted tickets are available now at Otto's Bookstore and R.M. Sides Family Music, or online at www.williamsportcivicchorus.org.
