Snug Harbor Community Chorus to perform Duxbury, Hanover holiday concerts:
Join Snug Harbor Community Chorus in ringing in the holiday season with “Home for the Holidays,” a family concert featuring 65 voices, a flutist, an audience singalong, and a cash-prize and gift basket raffle.
The concert takes place at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 10 at the Duxbury Performing Arts Center, 73 Alden St. In addition, a matinee performance takes place at 3 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 11 at Laura’s Center for the Arts, 97 Mill St., Hanover. Tickets cost $20; children under 10 are admitted free. Tickets are available at www.snugharborcc.org and at the door.
The concert marks the first time the chorus has performed at Laura’s Center for the Arts, as well as the largest turnout of singers since the onset of Covid-19.
It is also the chorus’s first under the direction of Steven Bergman, who has served in the past as Snug Harbor’s accompanist. He is also a member of the musical theater faculty at Bridgewater State University and oversees the choral and theatrical programs for the Rockland Public Schools. The chorus also welcomes back its accompanist, Sarah Troxler, piano department chair at South Shore Conservatory of Music, with campuses in Duxbury and Hingham.
The popular winter show, an annual South Shore tradition, features an eclectic mix of Christmas and Hanukkah pieces, such as “Christmas on Broadway”; “Deck the Rooftop,” from the television series, “Glee”; and “S’Vivon,” a joyous dreidel song. The Hallelujah Chorus from Handel’s “Messiah” promises to be a showstopper.
The concert also features a performance by the chorus’s 2022 music scholarship recipient Catrina Riker.
Incorporated in 1998, Snug Harbor is a nonprofit chorus whose members come from all over the South Shore. For more information, visit www.snugharborcc.org or like Snug Harbor Community Chorus on FaceBook.
