Concert of carols to return to Malden
The First Baptist Church of Malden will be holding its Festival of Carols shortly. This is free and open to the public.
The Festival of Carols has been a tradition of the holiday season in Malden for over 75 years. Richard Freeman is the conductor and program director, while Rosalind Mohnsen is Music Director at Immaculate Conception and organist. The two bring together different singers and choirs from throughout the city to perform both traditional and contemporary Christmas music. Featured this year will be the First Nepali Baptist Church and the Casa de fe Alabanza Church, each of which will be singing in their native languages.
Such unique and special concerts are often promoted throughout a city and surrounding communities with flyer printing.
Freeman said that on the day of the concert, choir practice will begin at 3:00 p.m. for those singers who want to be part of the festival. He asks that all those who participate can read music. He added that the audience will also be invited to sing during the concert.
An E.M. Skinner organ from 1915 will be accompanying the choir. It has close to 3,000 pipes that create a unique sound to showcase the voices of the choir. The concert will also have a featured solo performer.
The concert will be this Sunday, December 10, beginning at 5:00 pm.
