“I've been told the choir teachers at the private schools had been wanting to collaborate on a project, and so they jumped at the chance to have their choirs participate in Habitat's concert,” said Deanna Harrison, director of development for Habitat for Humanity of Smith County.
Monte Maxwell, director of chapel music with the United States Naval Academy, also will perform with the choirs.
The first portion of the concert will feature the choirs, while the main part of the concert will feature Maxwell on the organ. The more than 100 person choir will perform “The Hallelujah Chorus” from Handel's “Messiah” as the finale.
“It's going to be a very exciting evening featuring a variety of styles and genres, and a lot of fun,” Maxwell said. “I really hope people will take advantage of the wonderful Christmas music and reach out to help others with the very worthy cause of supporting Habitat for Humanity.”
Tickets for the concert are $20. All proceeds benefit Habitat for Humanity of Smith County.
Call 903-595-6630 for more information or to purchase tickets. Tickets may also be purchased at www.smithcountyhabitat.org and picked up at the will call table.
