This concert will feature a performance of Donald Fraser’s “A Christmas Symphony” by the Mendelssohn Chamber Orchestra conducted by Stephen Squires; soprano Jonita Lattimore; the Mendelssohn Chorale; Kantorei, the Singing Boys of Rockford; and the Rock Valley Children’s Choirs.
Fraser’s symphony encompasses many of our most beloved Christmas carols. To commemorate the 125th anniversary of the founding of the Mendelssohn Club, Fraser has composed a new Christmas Prelude and Fugue based on the carol “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing,” written by Felix Mendelssohn.
