The music of Christmas is presented in rich abundance by Bel Canto Company, the excellent vocal group from Greensboro. In a concert from Christ United Methodist Church, artistic director and conductor Wellborn Young leads the singers in songs that are popular gems of the season, as well as pieces less well-known but wonderfully striking. Enjoy the sounds of the holiday on a joyous Carolina Live.
