St. Mary’s Choir and Friends gearing up for annual holiday concert

TOMAHAWK – St. Mary's Choir and Friends will present their annual holiday concert next month.

The choir will perform the concert, called "This Is Christmas,” at St. Mary’s Catholic Church, 320 E. Washington Ave., Tomahawk, on Sunday, Dec. 8 at 4 p.m.

The choir is made up of 55 adult singers, a children's Cherub Choir and instrumentalists featuring piano, harp, violin, guitar, mandolin and a variety of brass. 

Jan Huseby, Director of Music and Liturgy with St. Mary’s, is also the Music Director for the choir, with assistance from Mary Ramsey. She explained that the St. Mary's Choir and their many friends from other area churches begin preparations for the concert in early September.

“Performing traditional and contemporary songs of hope, peace and a Christmas cantata, the impressive local talent of the combined voices has delighted large audiences for many years in what has become a popular holiday tradition,” Huseby stated. “The concert is free of charge, but a free will offering is appreciated. Following the concert, the audience is treated to an array of delectable homemade hors d'oeuvres and desserts.”
