Lincoln College Fine Arts to present concert

[December 06, 2013]  After all the chaos of Black Friday and Cyber Monday shopping, you deserve a break this weekend. The Lincoln College Chamber Choir and Chorale will present their annual Winter Concert on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. in the Johnston Center for the Performing Arts on the Lincoln campus.

The choirs will sing a dozen pieces and the college's saxophone quartet will perform in the one-hour show.

"The choirs will be performing some nontraditional holiday music, vocal jazz, Nigerian and Kituban African carols, as well as contemporary Christian and traditional African-American spirituals," said Cynthia Fox, assistant professor and vocal director. "We are also going to do the Nigerian Christmas carol 'Betelehumu' that was so popular at last year's concert, and we'll be inviting any LC choral alumni who are in the audience and know the piece to join us on stage for that number."

General admission is $2.

In conjunction with the concert, there will be a 50-50 raffle to support the choral department and their activities, and LC's Phi Theta Kappa honor society will collect new, unwrapped toys for the Logan County Toys for Tots program. For each toy donated, donors will be entered in a drawing for one of two Visa gift cards.
