Concert to celebrate joy of Christmas

Soloist Elke Hook

The Central Coast Chorale will present Christmas on the Coast on Sunday, December 3, reinforcing the season’s universal offer of hope, joy and love for all humanity irrespective of race or beliefs.

“In this time of turbulence, suppression, hate and ‘alternative truths’, Christmas also offers us the hope of peace with one another and within ourselves,” a Chorale spokesperson said.

“The Central Coast Chorale, with Music Director Christopher Bowen, takes great delight in inviting everyone to their final concert in 2023.”

Christmas on the Coast will be a festival of song celebrating the special season.

Music from all over the world will be performed, drawing inspiration from many lands; Mexico, Canada, Germany and Britain as well as Australia.

“Christmas on the Coast gives us all that rare opportunity to come together as one and share not only the Christmas message but also the gift of music and song,” the spokesperson said.

“The symbols of Christmas have never been more precious or meaningful as in 2023.”

The concert will be held at 2.30pm on Sunday, December 3, at St Patrick’s Catholic Church, East Gosford.
