Christmas choir program

The Peninsula Choir, directed by Ivan Kinny, is presenting its annual Christmas program in various venues.

The choir will sing carols in the Brisbane Water Private Hospital and at local retirement villages.

It will also give public performances in St Andrews Anglican Church, Umina, on Sunday, December 12, and at the Umina Uniting Church on Sunday, December 19.

Both churches are in Ocean Beach Rd, and both performances are at 5pm.

The choir will be accompanied by pianist Joan Edwards.

This year's event is entitled "The Aura of Christmas".

The concert will include carols old and new, with opportunities for community singing, as well as reading form literature on the subject of Christmas.

Music will include that of Bach and Monteverdi, as well as some less known and traditional songs.

A special item will be Peter Warlock's modern carol "Bethlehem Down".

Everyone is welcome.
