The HFC Chorus joins with EMU Voices for the “Troubled Water Winter Wind” holiday choral concert, which will be held on Sunday, November 15, from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. at St. Paul Lutheran Church, 21915 Beech St. in Dearborn.

A highlight of this concert is that EMU Voices – the renowned vocal group from Eastern Michigan University – under the direction of Jillian Burgam, will perform alongside the HFC Chorus.

“Troubled Water Winter Wind,” the title of this holiday concert, refers to the following pieces with common themes that will be performed, including:

  • “Bridge Over Troubled Water”
  • “Shenandoah”
  • “Blow, Blow, Thou Winter Wind”
  • “I’ve Got the Joy Joy”
  • “Carol of the Bells”

“Some pieces will feature a small band as well,” said HFC Director of Music Anthony Lai. “It's been a joy collaborating with Jillian on these concerts. She and her choir bring an enthusiasm and energy that fits right with our chorus. And, by the way, our chorus is sounding fantastic! There is a heavy lean into gospel/soul style for this concert, but the piece that just may end up stealing the show is a beautiful choral work by John Rutter called ‘Blow, Blow, Thou Winter Wind,’ which we will combine with EMU to perform. It's simply beautiful.”

Admission to this concert is free and open to the public. For questions or more information, contact Lai at ajlai@hfcc.edu.
