“God has gifted us with the ability to be musicians,” said Dr. Bruce Curlette, professor of music and organizer of the concert. “It is our opportunity to share our skills as a Christmas gift to the Cedarville community at large.”
There will also be congregational singing throughout the concert, which will conclude with the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel’s “Messiah.” The concert will also be live-streamed here.
