BRIDGTON — The Lake Region Community Chorus is joyfully preparing for its fourth annual winter concert, which will be held at 7 p.m. Friday, Dec. 9, and 3 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 11, at the Twitchell Chapel at the Bridgton Academy in North Bridgton. 
This enthusiastic choral group is made up of 52 members from 14 surrounding towns in the Lake Region. The program offers a great variety of musical styles from the classical to popular and everything in between. Come and hear these energetic singers perform the perfect blend of holiday and winter songs including Pachelbel’s “Canon of Peace,” John Rutter’s “We Wish You a Merry Christmas” and the ever popular “Silver Bells.”
The Rev. Cynthia Priem will be joining the chorus’ instrumental accompanying team on violin and Mark Priola will be playing percussion. The chorus welcomes back Zachary Gray on trumpet and Bernie Vigna on African drums. There will be other musical surprises as well, and the singing of the “Hallelujah Chorus” with audience participation!
The LRCC is directed by Jan Jukkola, Susan Stockwell and Dan Allen. The group is accompanied by Carolyn Stanhope with assistants Sara-Sue Schreiber and Nancy Capone. The chorus would like to thank the Bridgton Academy for all their help and support and providing them with rehearsal space and a concert venue. Donations to help cover operating costs will be gratefully accepted.
Come experience the joy of the season with the Lake Region Community Chorus and a musical program that is sure to be enjoyed by all.
