Triad Arts with David Ford The Choir of First Presbyterian Church presents The First NoelDecember 12, 2011The Ralph Vaughan Williams cantata The First Noel features the Sanctuary Choir of First Presbyterian Church under the baton of Music Director Dr. Michael Dodds. Joining in the multi-faceted performance will be a chamber orchestra of Winston-Salem Symphony musicians, soprano Mary Lea Williams, baritone Scott Schumpert, and The Liturgical Dance Company of Northern Virginia: NOVA.
The cantata exists in two versions, and First Presbyterian will perform both. A staged version with nativity play adapted from medieval English is Sunday night, December 18 at 7:00pm. Also on that program will be Handel’s much loved organ concerto The Cuckoo and the Nightingale performed by First Pres organist extraordinaire Elizabeth Moyer. And you can hear a sneak peak of First Noel on Thursday, December 15 with a convenient lunchtime offering from 12:15 to 12:45. The venue for both performances is the old sanctuary at First Presbyterian Church, 300 North Cherry Street. The half-hour concert version allows downtown workers on tight schedules to come during their lunch breaks. Box lunches for dine in or to go will be available after the concert. The lunches and both performances are free. Director of Music, and University of NC School of the Arts music history professor Michael Dodds, and stage director Robyne Parrish drop by WFDD to talk about it.
