The Fanfare Brass Choir will be returning this Sunday at 5 p.m. for a Christmas Sing-A-Long at the First Congregational Church in Huntington.
HUNTINGTON – The Fanfare Brass Choir, a 10-piece brass band, will be performing a sing-along of Christmas selections at the First Congregational Church of Norwich Hill, 6 Searle Road this Sunday, Dec. 3 at 5 p.m. This will be the third year in a row that the Fanfare Brass Choir will perform at the church.
“Come share the Christmas season and sing along to all your favorite Christmas songs,” said the Rev. Carol Smith, adding that concertgoers are invited to enjoy homemade cookies, punch and hot chocolate following the concert.
The program alternates between brass only and popular carols, many arranged for the group by trombonist and retired UMass music professor David Sporny because, as bandleader David Neill explained last year, there are no arrangements for a 10-piece brass band for Christmas. He also said they have done many such concerts, and were impressed by the singing in Huntington.
The concert, sponsored by the Huntington Cultural Council and the Massachusetts Cultural Center, is free and open to the public.
