CHRISTMAS CONCERT AT ST. JOHN’S CATHEDRAL Kicks Off the Season

More than 160 Episcopal students performed in the Fine Arts annual Christmas Concert at St. John’s Cathedral on Friday, December 2, a much anticipated holiday event favorite. Choral ensembles including Middle School Chorale, Treble Ensemble, Mens Ensemble, Honors Chorale, and Upper School Chorale performed a variety of Christmas songs, including “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen” and “That’s Christmas to Me.” Carolyn Tuttle ’03, Director of Choral Studies, and Anthony Felton, Music Instructor and Collaborative Pianist, directed the Choral students in their portion of the concert. Band students were led by Greg Hersey, Director of Instrumental Music, and Alex Hernandez, Middle School Instrumental Music Instructor. Band ensembles including Upper School Wind Ensemble, Honors Wind Ensemble, Middle School Concert Band, Beginning Band, and Jazz Band performed a series of Christmas songs including “Fantasia on Silent Night” and “Carol of the Bells.” As the finale, both groups joined with the audience for a sing-along of “Joy to the World.” Following the second performance Episcopal’s Fine Arts parent organization, FANS, hosted a reception in Taliaferro Hall for all attendees.
