Join PFC as we continue our tradition of making joyful music at Christmas. This year, we’ll combine our voices with harp, marimba, and guitar in Conrad Susa’s wonderful collection of Spanish carols, Carols and Lullabies of the Southwest. You’ll thrill to the sounds of A Ceremony of Carols, one of Benjamin Britten’s most popular works, and delight in John Rutter’s Dancing Day, a collection of English carols arranged for women’s voices. There’s no better way to experience the joy of this magical season than to hear PFC in their annual Christmas concert.
