Seaway's popular Christmas concert set for December
FLAT ROCK — Hear classic Christmas carols from the Seaway Chorale and Orchestra and the Voices of the Young.
The 50-member orchestra and chorale, under the direction of Anthony Lai, and its guest group will present “That’s Christmas in Me,” the annual Christmas concert, at 7:30 p.m. Dec. 1-2 at the Flat Rock Community Auditorium at Flat Rock Community High School, 25600 Seneca St.
“This year’s concert will feature unique arrangements of classic favorites, like ‘Deck The Halls,’ ‘Jingle Bells,’ ‘Hark The Herald Angels Sing’ and ‘Little Drummer Boy,’ as well the title song made famous by Pentatonix,” Chris Utz, chorale president, said.
Guest group Voices of the Young will sing “Ding Dong Merrily on High” and other selections.
"This is the first time Voices of the Young has performed with Seaway," Utz said.
The group is for youths ages 8-16 and resumed earlier this year. It is led by Vanessa El-Zein.
Seaway's Christmas concert is a nearly 50-year tradition in Flat Rock.
“For 46 years, Seaway has kicked off the Christmas season for so many downriver residents,” Utz said. “We invite everyone to continue that tradition or even to start a new one.”
Last year, about 600 attended Seaway's Christmas concert.
