Join The Bronx Concert Singers (BCS) and music director Robert René Galván on Sunday, December 15, at 4:30 pm, for their 32nd Annual Holiday Concert at St. Paul's Evangelical Lutheran Church, 1891 McGraw Avenue, in Parkchester. Celebrate the Yuletide season with classical music featuring Poulenc's Gloria, works by Berlioz, Rachmaninoff and others, with carols, and holiday favorites performed by the BCS chorus, with keyboardist Tamara Cashour, professional soloists and chamber orchestra. For more information please call (917) 743-4641, visit www.bronxconcertsingers.org or email BCS_info@bronxconcertsingers.org.

Maestro Galván leads BCS in a program that highlights the traditional music of Christmastime while incorporating the aural colors of contemporary holiday works featuring Francis Poulenc's Gloria, a 20th century work with changing meters, complex rhythms, profound dynamic contrasts and intense melodic colors. Throughout the concert cherished traditional carols appear amongst Christmas songs from around the globe such as composer Ariel Ramirez's Argentinean folk song "El Nacimiento" from the work Navidad; A La Nanita Nana, a gentle Ecuadorian lullaby carol; and the Nigerian Christmas song Betelehemu, a spirited, lively work. The program also includes John J. Nile's, I Wonder as I Wander; Berlioz's The Shepherds' Farewell and other treasured holiday songs.

Tickets are available in advance and at the door from BCS: General admission is $20 / two for $35, seniors and students with valid ID, $15 and children through high school, $5. Tickets may also be charged through Brown Paper Tickets by phone at 1-800-838-3006, or online at http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/514260.
