Dear
Friends of Choral Music,
Thank
you to all those who attended the opening concert of our 75th
anniversary season on October 16, 2005 at Eastminister Presbyterian
Church. The performance of choral
masterworks was a joy to sing and was warmly received by all in
attendance. Thank you for your
presence at our concerts and for your financial support. You continue to make it possible for
the Columbia Choral Society to present the finest in choral music to audiences
in the Midlands of South Carolina.
I
hope you will reserve Sunday afternoon, December 11 in your busy holiday
calendar. Our second concert of
the season will be held at 3:00 pm on December 11 at St. Joseph's Catholic
Church on Devine Street. The main
work on the program will be the Christmas Oratorio by French composer Camille
Saint-Saens. The choir will

In addition to this lovely work, we will be performing the Ave Maria by Sergei Rachmaninoff (sung in
Russian), John Rutter's What Sweeter Music, A Spotless Rose composed by Herbert Howells, Wonderful
Peace by Gustaf
