The FWC returns for three concerts that include holiday favorites from the past 60 years, including carol arrangements by American composers Hagenberg, Forrest, and Culloton, traditional English works by Holst and Mathias, and thought-provoking and impactful pieces by Powell and Memley. The concert also includes an audience favorite, a carol sing-along with a rollicking "Jingle Bells."
