Linda Blanchard is St. Cecilia’s artistic director, assisted by organist Sean Fleming. Advance tickets are strongly encouraged for these concerts.  You were as good as ever!   The whole thing was just beautiful!   I’m so glad we came!  are a few of the audience comments from last year's concerts. A beautiful new setting of the Gerard Manley Hopkins poem  The Bethlehem Star  by former King's Singers member Bob Chilcott will be featured. The John Rutter favorites  What Sweeter Music  and  There Is a Flower  will be performed, as well as Richard Francis' ever-popular  People, Look East  based on Eleanor Farjeon's Christmas poem. The Choir will sing a setting of the Thomas Hardy poem  The Oxen  by Richard Francis' father Keith Francis. Also featured will be  This Day Christ Was Born  by the prolific Elizabethan composer William Byrd. A professional string quartet will accompany the group on select pieces. As a special treat, Eric Whitacre’s  Glow,  composed for the  World of Color – Winter Dreams  show which premiered at Disney California Adventure Park in California, will be performed. With audience sing-along caroling using several of David Willcocks' arrangements, this concert is sure to be a treat for the whole family. Tickets are $20 for the Damariscotta Baptist Church concert and $25 for the Bowdoin Chapel concert. Admission is free for students and children. Tickets are available online at ceciliachoir.org, and at Sherman's Maine Coast Book Shop in Damariscotta.
