Chapel Hill Community Chorus to be featured on WCPE Preview!

WAKE FOREST, N.C. (December 3, 2007) – TheClassicalStation.org announces today that its weekly program Preview! will feature an interview with the Chapel Hill Community Chorus’ (CHCC) Conductor Dr. Sue. T. Klausmeyer. The interview will air Sunday, December 9 at 7 p.m. ET.

Highlighting the discussion will be the CHCC’s upcoming holiday performance “A Festival of Carols” featuring a performance of Conrad Susa’s “Carols and Lullabies: Christmas in the Southwest,” telling the story of the nativity through the eyes of the peasants.

“Community Choruses add so much to the richness of life,” said WCPE’s Ken Hoover in a review for Classical Voice of North Carolina. “They deepen participants’ understanding of great choral music, and provide pleasure and delight to their audiences.”

The CHCC’s “A Festival of Carols” performance will be held Saturday, December 15 at 8 p.m. in Memorial Hall on the campus of UNC-Chapel Hill.
