Winter Carols and Lullabies

Following their successful collaboration on Cleveland-based Mushroomhead's A Wonderful Life album, Cleveland Chamber Choir and Dr. F (Ryan Farrell) are working together again, this time on a more classical choral concert! CCC has commissioned Ryan to write a set of holiday carols based on the German legend of Krampus (who comes and steals away naughty children). These carols will be featured on their upcoming series of concerts, Winter Carols and Lullabies. The concert showcases the Cleveland Chamber Choir under the direction of Jelani Watkins in a concert with more than two-thirds of the works being from the twentieth or twenty-first centuries. In addition to the Krampus Carols by Dr. F, there is also a commissioned Hanukkah piece by Mickey McGroarty. The concert will also intersperse Benjamin Britten’s Ceremony of Carols with carols arranged by 21st century composers. Today's concert takes place at 7 p.m. at St. Peter Catholic Church. Tomorrow's concert takes place at 4 p.m. at Disciples Christian Church in Cleveland Heights. 1533 E. 17th St., Cleveland.
