The Newburgh Symphonic Chorale will present a varied program of holiday favorites on Sunday, December 11, 2011 at 3 p.m. at St. George's Episcopal Church, 105 Grand St., Newburgh. Ingrid Narken serves as conductor and Gordon Shacklett will provide piano accompaniment.
The program was selected by members of the chorale as among their favorite holiday choral music. Selections include the traditional favorites “Silver Bells” and “Carol of the Bells.” Also included will be the premiere of an arrangement of the traditional French carol “What is This Fragrance?” by local composer Peter Sipple.
