New Wave Singers of Baltimore will open its 2014-2015 season with performances of its holiday concert, ‘Twas the Night. In addition to Clement Clark Moore’s choral version of the classic poem,“‘Twas the Night Before Christmas,” the concert will include selections by composers Morten Lauridsen, John Rutter, Enya, and others. An added highlight will be selections presented by small ensembles of New Wave Singers members, offering a variety of popular Christmas favorites for all ages.

The performance on Saturday, December 6 at 7:00 p.m. will take place at St. Mark’s Evangelical Lutheran Church, 1900 St. Paul Street (Baltimore). An encore “Ugly Sweater Edition,” encouraging audience members to wear their favorite Christmas sweaters, will be presented at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, December 9 at Govans Presbyterian Church, 5828 York Road (Baltimore). Tickets are $20 and are available online, at the door, or in advance from any New Wave member.

Anyone 17 or under will be admitted for free, and New Wave Singers is extending a special invitation to LGBT youth, and their families, friends and allies to join us for this musical celebration of our community.
