FREE Christmas Concert in East Liberty Presbyterian Church!

The ninth season of ELPC’s Cathedral Concerts series continues with “Christmas in East Liberty”—the series’ most highly anticipated concert each year. The concert is free and a freewill offering will be received.

The Brass Roots, conductor Lance LaDuke, organist Dr. Edward Alan Moore, and the ELPC Chancel Choir will combine to perform a mix of holiday favorites for brass, organ, choir, and the audience.

Classical WQED FM 89.3's own Jim Cunningham will return to narrate 'Twas the Night Before Christmas!

The concert will be live-streamed on the East Liberty Presbyterian Church Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/EastLibertyPresbyterian/
