Two holiday concerts

next week

Both the Fayette Youth Chorale

next week. The choruses, all under the direction of Millie Turek, will

blend holiday favorites with other seasonal songs from around the world.

The Fayette Youth Chorale will

perform Sunday, Dec. 7, at 3 p.m. at Sams Auditorium in Fayetteville.

Tickets will be on sale at the door for $5. The FYC is an auditioned community

children's choir for gifted young singers, ages 9-14, from Fayette and

Coweta counties. Now in their sixth season, the FYC will present sacred

and secular songs of the season. The chorus is preparing to perform at

the Crescent City Choral Festival in New Orleans in the summer of 2004

as one of nine children's choirs from around the United States.

The Sandy Creek High School

choruses will take the stage at Sams Monday, Dec. 8, at 7:30 p.m. The

concert will feature all 175 chorus members and featured solosists in

songs of the holiday season.

The Treble Chorus will perform

"Go Where I Send Thee" and "All I Want for Christmas is

You." Other selections include:

- Men's Chorus -

Nigerian Christmas song "Bethelehemu."

- Honors Ensemble - two

Latvian Carols and "My Grown Up Christmas List."

- Select Mixed - Biebl's,

"Ave Maria" and "Deck the Halls in 7/8."

The concert will end with alumni

and choruses singing together on "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen"

for their annual "Choral homecoming." The grand finale is the

traditional audience sing-a-long of holiday favorites.

The concert is free and the

public is invited.
