Christmas Concert

The Congregational Church of Salisbury, UCC will present its annual Christmas Concert Saturday, December 18th, at 3 PM at 30 Main Street.

For this concert, the Salisbury UCC handbell choir, directed by Mary Davidson, will present its first performance since the beginning of the pandemic. The bell choir will highlight a selection of festive seasonal favorites.

The Salisbury UCC choir, led by music director Samuel Lord Kalcheim, will present a program ranging from four settings of the Ave Maria, from Josquin’s classic of the high Renaissance to Cecilia MacDowell's haunting modern setting for vocal trio. The 20 members of the choir, including cantor Jennifer Oberto, soprano, will perform pieces by Clarke, Elgar, Holst and Quartel.

The choir will be accompanied by Dr. Kalcheim on the Shantz 1963/2013 organ.
