A Christmas Garland

Immanuel UCC 99 South Waverly Street, Shillington, Pennsylvania 19607-2641
Vox Philia's annual Christmas concert features several premieres, as well as old favorites, including Vaughan Williams' stunning "Fantasia on Christmas Carols." In this, as well as works by Praetorius, Fedak and Whittaker, we are joined by our sister organization, Berks Sinfonietta.
The program is built around John Whittaker's "A Christmas Garland;" this will be its world premiere. While Whittaker's music shares similarities to the sound world of Vaughan Williams, he has his own distinct and beautiful compositional voice. We also explore two Christmas texts (There is no Rose & Make We Joy) by singing three settings of each, including one by Lancaster based composer (and Vox tenor) Lyndon Gehman. And we will premiere a new carol arrangement by our composer-in-residence, David A. Himes.
Join us for a concert of new and familiar music, exploring the many themes of the Christmas season. All ticket revenue will be donated to local charity, something we have done since our first concert in December 2012.
We look forward to seeing you on SUNDAY, December 22 at 4 pm. Immanuel UCC, 99 South Waverly Street in Shillington.
