The Tapestry Singers holiday concert, entitled “Going for Baroque,” will take place at the Second Congregational Church, 51 Main Street, Newcastle on Saturday, Dec. 21 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, Dec. 22 at 3 p.m. Harold, “Sandy,” Falconer is the director and Sean Fleming accompanist. The featured work will be the Bach Magnificat in D. The second half of the program is a mélange of familiar favorites, including two audience sing-along numbers. The Singers will be accompanied by a baroque orchestra of winds, brass, timpani, organ, and strings featuring the DaPonte String Quartet.

Soloists include Abbey Hutchins, John Fischer, Amy Lalime, Timothy Johnson, and Sue Hunt. This is Lincoln Academy senior Abbey’s debut with Tapestry, but she is no stranger to the area through appearances in musical theater productions and in Lincoln Academy singing performances. She placed in the National Association of Teachers of Singing (NATS) competition for three years. This past summer, she attended the Washington National Opera Institute at American University where she placed as a finalist in the Schmidt Youth Vocal Competition. John, Amy, and Sue are popular soloists from Tapestry’s ranks. Timothy participated in previous Tapestry concerts and the Singers welcome his return.

Tickets are available for $12 in advance at Maine Coast Book Shop and Café in Damariscotta, at Now You’re Cooking in Bath, or by calling 644-1174. The price is $15 at the door, children and students free.
