The program will feature well-known carols arranged for four vocal parts as well as carols for either male voice or female voice performed a capella. In addition there will be several movements from Schubert’s Mass No. 2 in G Major and selections from “Messiah.”

Amaryllis also welcomes guest soloist Danielle Vaillancourt, a Cornwall native whose talent and ability as mezzo-soprano are well known.
