On Sunday, December 13th at 3 pm, the very talented youth from the Lake Region Select Choir will present their 3rd Annual Holiday Concert for the Now Playing Newport Music Series. Dr. Sara Doncaster is the Music Director and Mark Violette is accompanist. The program is at St. Mark's Episcopal Church, Second Street, Newport. This program is part of the Series Youth Programs and is open to the public and admission is FREE. We were happy to bring them to the Series in 2013, when the first time they performed outside of the gym at Lake Region and is now an annual tradition. Anyone wishing to make a donation to the great work that Sara does with the Lake Region Music Program are welcome. Cookies and punch will be served following the program. Our youth needs the support of the community.

“Noel”(text in the African Kituba dialect), “Children Will Listen” from Into the Woods,

A perfect way to bring in the Holiday Season and support this great Music Program. This is the last program of the Series for 2015.
