A cordial invitation from

The Community Chorus of Detroit

Join us for our moving and inspiring December concerts entitled Spiritual Peace & Joy at Jefferson Avenue Presbyterian Church, 8625 E. Jefferson at Burns, in Detroit’s historic Indian Village neighborhood, on Friday, December 13 at 7:30 and Saturday, December 14 at 4:00. Dr. Edward Maki-Schramm will conduct the 85-voice chorus and orchestra, with chorister soloists as well as guest artists from the University of Michigan School of Music, Theatre and Dance. The concerts feature Maurice Draughn’s new work, A Ceremony of Spirituals, in addition to other contemporary works and selections from Handel’s Messiah, for the purpose of interweaving musical genres that convey the universal messages of peace on earth and radiant joy at this darkest time of year. With this innovative musical program, we celebrate the commonality of all people through their shared humanity and reverence.

Performances include a special, one-item silent auction for the ultimate gift, a fabulous trip-of-a-lifetime vacation package for a photo safari in South Africa’s renowned Zulu Nyala game reserve!

Tickets will be available here in later November. General admission is $20 in advance; $25 at the door; patrons (preferred seating) additional.

Please contact us with questions: info@communitychorusofdetroit.com.

All of us in the Community Chorus of Detroit thank you – our supporters – for all you do to help us to continue “Singing in the Heart of Detroit!”
