HERNDON - Line Mountain Council for the Arts and Humanities will hold its annual concert, "Christmas Everywhere," a concert with a multicultural theme, at 3 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 9, at the Line Mountain Junior-Senior High School.
Under the direction of Christine Sanders, the adult chorus will present "Bidi bom," a delightfully festive little piece that brings the multicultural perspective into the concert. From the Spanish culture comes "Fum, Fum, Fum." The chorus will return to its American roots by singing "Mary Had a Baby," an American spiritual, and "Huron Indian Carol." The ladies ensemble will perform "Kling, Glockchen, Kling," a German carol.
There will be a children's ensemble under the direction of Judy Updegrove. The children will present a Russian folk song entitled "Sleigh Bells Ring," a French carol "He is Born" and "Here Comes Santa Claus."
The ensemble will demonstrate its multi-language skills in "Child of Peace."
Kelly Eure will perform Taylor Swift's version of "Last Christmas." Other soloists include Alexis Schaffner singing "My Grown Up Christmas List" and Nikki Hicks singing "Mary Did You Know." Harpist Sherri Trometter will play her own arrangement of "Carol of the Bells Medley."
There is no admission charge; however, a portion of the free-will offering will be donated to the American Red Cross, and another portion will benefit the Ebony and Ivory Project, the arts council's endeavor to restore the Steinway grand piano at the junior-senior high school.
