Bluff Park UMC Chancel Choir will be presenting The Oratorio de Noël, Op. 12, by Camille Saint-Saëns, also known as his Christmas Oratorio.
The work is scored in ten movements; the Chancel Choir will be singing on six of the movements, and the work will feature five professional soloists: Emily Yocum Black (soprano), Natalie Krumpansky (contralto), Jacob Waid (baritone), Dr. Emily Jaworski Koriath (mezzo-soprano), and Caleb Clark (tenor). The work will be sung in English and will tell the story of the coming of the Christ Child from the account in the gospel of Luke. The soloist and choir will be accompanied by a professional string orchestra, harp, and organ.
This is an excellent time to invite your family and friends to attend our Sunday morning worship service and experience this magnificent musical presentation by our music ministry.
