The River Singers Community Choir, led by Mary Cay Brass, will hold their annual holiday concerts on Saturday, December 14 at 7:30pm and Sunday, December 15 at 4pm at Next Stage in Putney, Vermont. In its 28th year, The River Singers is a unique, 80-voice multi-generational choir known for its eclectic mix of music from diverse cultural musical heritages.

The choir will present soulful and thrilling songs of joy, love and peace, as well as songs for social justice, from the Balkans, Israel, the British Isles, South Africa, Sweden and the Republic of Georgia.

Every River Singers concert is a benefit for a local or global peace initiative. This year's concert will assist the Community Asylum Seekers Project. Based in Southern Vermont, CASP's mission is to provide basic needs and a supportive community for those in the process of seeking asylum in the U.S. www.caspvt.org
