Starlight Tea Concert | Mennonite Children’s Choir | April 13, 2024 | LCOB
The Mennonite Children’s Choir of Lancaster closes out the LCOB 2023-24 Starlight Tea Concert Series with a performance on Saturday, April 13.
The concert is part of the Choir’s spring concert series “Sing ‘Til the Power of the Lord Come Down!” which celebrates the group’s 25 years of singing. The choir will share several Spirituals and songs from the Gospel tradition, such as “He Is Marvelous” by Rosephanye Powell and “The Storm Is Passing Over” by Charles Albert Tindley, arranged by Barbara W. Baker.
Music by Michael Praetorius, G. F. Handel, John Rutter, and Elaine Hagenberg—as well as songs in Hebrew, German, and Latin—will represent the depth and breadth of choral music from around the world and across time learned by MCCL singers.
The Mennonite Children’s Choir of Lancaster is a community choral arts
program serving more than 150 children and youth in kindergarten through
grade 12. (Only middle and high school-age children will perform for this
concert.) Representing nearly 55 congregations, 45 schools, and 12
denominations, singers develop a rich musical repertoire from around the
world and across time while being equipped for a lifetime of service to the
church and community. The mission of MCCL is training children and youth to
glorify Jesus Christ through excellent choral singing.
