"SEASON OF JOY" Concert/Celtic and Traditional Music

Please join us on December 15th at
our 11 a.m. worship service for our “Season of Joy” concert combining the passion of Celtic musical traditions
and the joyous celebration of Christ's birth. 

“Season of Joy” offers a
spectacular collection of new and beloved seasonal songs performed by instrumentalists
from our congregation as well as members of the Rose Tree Pops Orchestra.  Acclaimed
arranger/orchestrator  Daniel Semsen has brilliantly married traditional Celtic instrumentation with a vibrant contemporary sound, featuring four new songs by Keith and Kristyn Getty.  

This one-of-a-kind
musical combines such Irish classics as "The Wexford Carol" with
exciting new Celtic-inspired arrangements of Chris Tomlin's "Emmanuel (Hallowed Manger Ground)" and Travis Cottrell's "Jesus Saves."

A
standout offering is the stunning overture, which features fiddles, penny

whistles and bagpipes. No less than one dozen familiar carols artfully weave
their way through the work, inviting the congregation to fully join the

celebration.  For directions and further
