Joy of SingingCrescent Concerts continues its 33rd Season with The Journey to Christmas, which will be presented by the Crescent Choral Society  at the historic Crescent Avenue Presbyterian Church in Plainfield.  Artistic Director, F.

These three outstanding choral masterpieces from three different centuries will be the perfect beginning for your own journey into the season of Christmas.

Artistic Director Allen Artz creates music with the Choral Society in beautiful Crescent Avenue

From the 18th century we begin our journey with the stirring Vivaldi Magnificat, the classic choral setting of the song of Mary.  Then from the 19th century, we continue with the thrilling Saint-Saëns Oratorio de Noël, a work with lovely duets, trios, quartets and even a quintet of soloists.  Our journey ends with the 20th century classic Daniel Pinkham’s Christmas Cantata that really prepares you for the joyous season of Christmas to come.  The Crescent Choral Society will be accompanied on the mighty Gilbert Adams organ with Brenda Day at the keys.
