Teddy Bears will be invited guests when the Shenandoah Valley Childrens Choir<\/a> (SVCC) presents its 12th annual Christmas concerts 7 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 3 and 3 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 4, in Lehman Auditorium at Eastern Mennonite University. <\/p>\n

All audience and choir members are asked to bring a new teddy bear to be sent to Long Beach, Miss., Harrisonburg’s adopted city that was demolished by Hurricane Katrina. <\/p>\n

The Christmas concerts will feature 150 children in three choirs including the Preparatory Choir (ages 8-11), directed by Joy Anderson; the Treble Choir (ages 10-15) and the Concert Choir (ages 11-17), directed by Julia White<\/a>. <\/p>\n

The Preparatory Choir will sing "Christmas Comin’" and "The Cuckoo Carol." The combined Preparatory and Treble Choirs will sing "Sans Day Carol" and "Shalom, Friends," a Chanukah song. <\/p>\n

The Treble Choir alone will sing a new arrangement of "Deck the Hall" and the familiar carol, "In the Bleak Midwinter." <\/p>\n

The Concert Choir, the SVCC’s touring choir, will sing a variety of holiday songs, including Britten’s "This Little Babe" from "A Ceremony of Carols" and "Cuncti Simus," a Spanish medieval song with processional. Familiar holiday songs include "Gesu Bambino" and "The Christmas Song" (Chestnuts roasting. . .), both with soloists. Randall Thompson’s "Solstice" and Bach’s "Duet No. 15 Laughing and Shouting for Joy" will be included in the program. <\/p>\n

The traditional Jewish folk song, "S’vivon" (Spinning Top), will be sung in Hebrew and will include violin accompaniment. A variety of child soloists will be featured in the literature as well as audience sing-alongs. <\/p>\n

Guest instrumentalists will include EMU faculty members Joan Griffing<\/a> and Maria Lorcas on violin, who will accompany the choir and present solo works for violin. John Fast<\/a>, organist and long-time friend of the SVCC, will accompany the violinists and lead the audience in familiar carols. <\/p>\n

Tickets are available through the EMU box office at 540-432-4582. The box office is open 10:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. Monday through Friday but will be closed November 24 and 25 for Thanksgiving.
