Christmas Concert, Christmas Village on Dec. 18 in La Canada
A day of Christmas Cheer for all ages, including a Christmas concert, photos with Santa and family fun at La Caņada Presbyterian Church.
- Los Angeles-Long Beach, CA (1888PressRelease) November 22, 2011 - The joyous Christmas season will be rung in with fanfare and fun when La Canada Presbyterian Church combines a multimedia music program with a charming village of festive booths on Sunday, Dec. 18. "A Christmas Musical Feast and Christmas Village" will feature the LCPC's Chancel Choir & Orchestra for programs at 2:30 and 5 p.m., with the Christmas Village held from 3:30 to 5 p.m.
"Snow and snowballs will also come to La Canada" for a performance of Irving Berlin's "White Christmas," said Director of Music and Worship Arts Jack Lantz, who will conduct the orchestra and choir, while a rendition of "Sleigh Ride" will be accompanied by a video that will have guests gliding along with the song of a wintry fairy land.
The list of songs performed will include all the beloved carols of the season - "Joy to the World," "Hark! The Herald Angels Sing," "O Come All Ye Faithful" and "The First Noel" among them and there will also be some playful twists on tradition. "Jingle Bells" with Sousa's "Stars and Stripes Forever" will be combined for a pastiche appropriately titled "Jingle Bells Forever." Also, the choir and orchestra will combine for a "Musicological Tour Through the Twelve Days of Christmas," a selection that will present each day in a different style of music, ranging from classical to pop to contemporary, all accompanied by photos and videos.
The actors will also perform in the Christmas Village, which will present brightly decorated booths in the Fellowship Hall and around the church campus. Visitors will enjoy photos with Santa, cookies, hot chocolate, ornament-making, Sugar Plum Fairy and Nutcracker Soldier training, a Polar Express train and more. "We invite everyone in the community to join us for a high-quality, inspirational concert of familiar music and a festive Christmas Village," Lantz said.
