Enjoy Beautiful Music This Weekend

Under the direction of Gary Sturgis, the Sewanee Chorale will perform its annual Christmas concert at 2 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 13, in All Saints’ Chapel. Ruth Cobb will accompany the chorale.

Students from voice teacher  Susan Rupert’s studio will perform at 8 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 12, in St. Luke’s Chapel for the traditional end-of-semester Big Band/Broadway-fest. Joining them will be the Jazz Trio, which features Noel Workman, Bob Burns and Garry Collins.  

A program of  favorites such as “Steppin’ Out With My Baby,” “Fever,” “Lullaby of Broadway” and “The Lamp is Low” will lift your spirits and provide a much-needed break to relax and enjoy some of music’s most popular and enduring “oldies.”  

Morton Memorial United Methodist Church is hosting its fourth annual “Mountain Music Christmas” program at 5:30 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 13. The choir will sing beautiful Southern spirituals and Appalachian carols to celebrate the music of our mountain, including music of John Jacob Niles, Southern Harmony and Scottish carols. 

Special guests Amanda Combs and Ryan Combs are siblings from Hazard, Ky., who blend family musical tradition with their bluegrass and gospel roots to create heartfelt, down-to-earth music. 

Storyteller Susan Ramsay and Cricket and Snail will be back by popular demand, and will be joined by local traditional musicians. All are welcome to join in this celebration.
