The Dawson Community Chorale and the North Georgia College & State University Orchestra will present “Gloria” by Antonio Vivaldi at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 17, at the Dawsonville First Baptist Church.

Leslie Kupkowski, president of the Dawson Community Chorale, said the performance will be a great way to get people warmed up for the holiday season.

She said the “Gloria” is a well-known and well-loved masterpiece and though it isn’t necessarily a seasonal tune, it is very popular during the holiday season.

She said the joyful sounds of the classical song will delight the audience as much as will the five other pieces of music presented during the performance.

A reception with refreshments will follow the performance at 8:30 p.m.

The choir and orchestra will preform together again at 8 p.m. Nov. 30, at the Dahlonega United Methodist Church. Call the Dawson County Arts Council for more information, 706-216-2787.

Tickets are $10 for general admission, $8 students and DCAC members and children under age 10 are free.
The concert helps raise funds for both musical groups.

Proceeds from the ticket sales for the Dawsonville performance will go to Dawson Community Chorale and tickets for the Dahlonega concert will benefit the orchestra.
