Christmas Gala 2013 was a Great Concert

Our recent Christmas Gala, which we hosted with the Evanston Civic Chorus, was a great success and a neat event here in Evanston.  The Civic Orchestra performed three pieces in the concert:  "Troika" (Sleigh Ride) from Lt. Kiji Suite by Serge Prokofieff, "Sleigh Ride" 3rd Movement from 3 German Dances by W.A. Mozart, and "Christmas Day, Choral Fantasy on Old Carols" by Gustav Holst.  The Combined Choirs joined the orchestra on the last piece to finish out the concert.  

"Troika" - Serge Prokofieff

"Sleigh Ride" - W.A Mozart

The Evanston Handbell Choir was a big hit with their two pieces.  Three church groups and several other small instrumental and vocal ensembles also performed.  Refreshments were served afterwards and the audience and performers enjoyed a great social time.
