Hamilton-Gibson Children and Youth spring concert is Sunday

WELLSBORO — The Hamilton-Gibson Children and Youth Choirs Spring Concert will be held at 2:30 p.m. Sunday, May 21, at the First Presbyterian Church, 130 Main St., Wellsboro.

“We did not choose a yearlong theme but in the world we live in, we were drawn to the songs that offered hope, and that hope is in recognizing how we are alike,” said choir Director Thomas Putnam, according to a press release announcing the concert.

“Many of the songs we’re singing explore our connectedness with each other. We are one,” he said in the press release. “We can’t make it through these challenging times without sticking together.”

The concert will open with all three choirs singing “Amazing Grace,” “I Wanna Be Ready” and “Building Bridges.”

The Children’s Concert Choir for fifth through eighth graders and Youth Choir for ninth through 12th graders, both directed by Putnam, of Wellsboro, will then perform “Because All Men Are Brothers” followed by the Children’s Concert Choir singing “Yellow Submarine,” “Circle Round the Moon” and “Niska Banja” and then the Youth Choir singing “Yesterday,” “Eleanor Rigby” and “Hey Jude.”

The Children’s Concert Choir and Youth Choir will then join in performing “Let It Be” and “If Not Now, When?”

Choir Too for youngsters in the second through fourth grades, directed by Cheryl Hein Walters, of Mansfield, will sing “Bombalina” and “Ear Worm.”

The Children’s Concert Choir and Youth Choir will perform “Draw the Circle” and “We Are Not Alone.”

Closing the concert will be the Children’s Concert Choir and Youth Choir singing “Song for Justice,” “Sisi Ni Moja” and “Scottish Blessing.”

Gary Citro will accompany the choirs on piano, according to the press release.
