Christmas with Cappella at Solstice this week
The Cappella Choir will present a choral feast at Solstice Arts Centre, Navan, on Thursday 12 December at 8pm. Directed by Vincent Whelan and accompanied by Jillian Saunders, this mixed choir will sing familiar Christmas favourites and beautiful international carols such as The Yearning from the USA, Ring Christmas Bells from the Ukraine and a selection of festive songs from Brazil, Korea and Austria.
