The Celebration Chorale announces its upcoming annual Christmas cantata, “The Song of Bethlehem” which will be presented at 7:00 p.m. Saturday, December 7th and Sunday, December 8th at 2:00 p.m. The production will be held at First United Methodist Church, 2501 North Annie Glidden Road in DeKalb.
“The Song of Bethlehem” is a celebratory collection of new songs and familiar carols that culminate with the adoration of the newborn baby. Also included in the cantata is a collection of three seasonal favorites from the “Home Alone” movie series. The Celebration Chorale is under the direction of Christine Monteiro.
Although the Celebration Chorale practices and performs at FUMC in DeKalb, the musicians come from all over the area and include professionals and amateurs, longtime Chorale members, and those who are new to the group. The Chorale has singers representing over nine different church denominations and 10 local communities.
There is no charge for the performances at the church, but a free-will offering will be taken. The church is an accessible facility. Parking is available adjacent to the church building.
