December performance at First Lutheran
Church
Cantate Carlisle will add
their voices to the December concert of the Central Pennsylvania Symphony under the baton of conductor Cheung
Chao. Fine Arts at First will feature the two area ensembles on Sunday, December 11th
at 3 PM. The lovely First Evangelical Lutheran Church sanctuary will provide a reverent setting for the
performance of Mack Wilberg’s four carols for choir and orchestra. As Associate Music Director of the Mormon

Spring Concert
The Carlisle Theatre stage will showcase the spring performances of
Cantate Carlisle and young
persons’ ensemble Cantate cum Spiritum! What more appropriate place could there be for a concert featuring
Choral Music for the Stage? Audiences can look forward to accessible and entertaining opera
choruses of Verdi, Wagner, Tchaikovsky, Bizet and Humperdinck. Pursuing a lighter vein, the singers will
perform several numbers from Gilbert and Sullivan operettas The Pirates of Penzance, Trial by Jury, and
The Gondoliers. Broadway will be equally represented with creative arrangements of show tunes old and
new. Some shows represented include Oliver!, Peter Pan, Bye Bye Birdie, Porgy and Bess, Anything Goes,
Gypsy, Les Mis, and Wicked. The ensembles will be accompanied by Arthur Thompson on piano, Mark
Alexander-Gray on trap set, and Allen Roth on bass.
