If you’re a fan of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol, you might want to take in the Sudbury Youth Orchestra’s holiday concert Sunday, Dec. 17.
Special guest Sudbury MPP Jamie West will narrate excerpts from the Dickens classic, which will be set to arrangements of carols which Dickens himself would have known and which remain familiar today.
“An award-winning ensemble, the Sudbury Youth Orchestra provides a unique opportunity for young strings players to receive instruction and experience in orchestral repertoire,” said a press release.
“After months of practising, they are delighted to perform for the public. They are thrilled that Jamie West, MPP for Sudbury, will be joining them and are grateful for his ongoing support of young people in the arts in our community.”
The concert runs at 3:30 p.m. Dec. 17 at St. Peter’s United Church on York Street. Donations will be gratefully accepted.
