CHRISTMAS CONCERT AT CENTENARY STAGE WITH POCONO CHORAL SOCIETY

A special concert will ring in the Christmas season at Centenary College in December as the Centenary Stage Company presents the Pocono Choral Society  (PCS).
WHEN: Sunday, December 5, at 3 PM
WHERE: Centenary’s acoustically resplendent Whitney Chapel in Hackettstown
TICKETS: $10 for adults, $8 seniors and students, are available through the Centenary Stage Company Box Office 908.979.0900 and at the door on the day of the performance. For additional information, visit the PCS website at http://www.poconochoralsociety.org or call 570.402.1179. 

Begun in 1981, PCS has grown from a handful of singers to over 50 musicians, many of whom bring a wealth of experience as past and present participants in other civic, religious and professional choirs and instrumental groups. PCS has performed throughout the region for years, with additional notable performances in New York City and Atlantic City. Recently, the PSC joined the New York Choral Society, Uncle Yao's Chorus and the Zhi Yin Chorus for a performance of the Yellow River Cantata at the Lincoln Center, Avery Fisher Hall.

“This is a great way to start your holidays with the glorious sounds of music,” said Pocono Choral friend Ellen Griffith. The PCS performance in December will be part of Centenary’s “’Tis the Season” celebration, featuring holiday activities throughout the day, beginning with the arrival of  “St. Nicholas” at 3  PM and culminating in the “Grand Illumination” of the college’s Christmas tree at day’s end. “’Tis the Season” is an almost magical day at Centenary and in Hackettstown, and I can’t think of a better way to celebrate the holiday,” said CSC Manager, Catherine Rust.
