We Gather Together – concert review in photos

November 20, 2022 – A Concert of Praise, Thanksgiving, and Remembrance

The Choral Society President, Brenda Mitchell, gave a wonderful greeting that described the night perfectly:

We Gather Together – A Concert of Praise, Thanksgiving and Remembrance is a joyous seasonal celebration featuring the spoken word intertwined with a cornucopia of stunningly beautiful music. Tonight is an especially poignant performance as our founder, musical and artistic director, Bettie Biggs, will “pass the baton” of musical direction to our accompanist and assistant director, Andrew Harry.

Eight former narrators in collaboration with guest musicians and the choir will most assuredly make this a deeply memorable and cherished evening as we once again “gather together to ask the Lord’s blessing.”

Guest Narrators included: Kim Barber Knoll, Dr. John Beyers, Carol Cain, Honorable Judge Allen Keeble, Cathy Hunt, Dr. Richard Ingram, Tess Malis Kincaid, and Mercer (Katie) Van Schoor

Guest Musical Artists included: First Baptist Bells, Sally Traylor, Director; Dominic Bernard, Oboe; Jean Brumbeloe, Clarinet; Joe Elder, Double Bass/Guitar; and Dr. Nathaniel Gworek, Percussion

Elizabeth W. Biggs, Artistic Director
