Description

Choral Arts NW presents a new setting of Charles Dickens’s seasonal story of goodwill and change of heart, with music by two-time GRAMMY® Nominee and American Prize-winner Benedict Sheehan. Narrator and choir interweave together the Christmas Carol tale of generosity with fresh arrangements of cherished carols that bring Dickens’s character alive, from the childlike yet ancient Ghost of Christmas Past (In dulci jubilo) to the jovial Ghost of Christmas Present (The Boar’s Head Carol). Scrooge’s transformation is seen through new eyes, with Tiny Tim and the Cratchits accompanied by The Coventry Carol and newly composed music linking the narration and other familiar holiday carols, making a festive treat for the whole family.

Narration by writer/director/actor Sunam Ellis.

NOTE: The December 15th performance will be followed by a Gala Reception/Fundraiser in Plymouth's Hildebrandt Hall. All patrons are invited to join us!
