Well, here's a second chance to listen to, participate in, and enjoy not only the Boar's Head carol but the many varied sides of the Blyth Festival Singers' annual Christmas concert. Yes, the boar's head certainly was a hit they want to repeat. But so too was the children's choir from Exeter Public School, under the direction of Joan Perrie and organizers are pleased to have them per- form again this year. The choir, under the direction of Angus Sinclair, will perform many familiar seasonal pieces, both sacred and secular, as well as a number of selections new to the au- dience. The monotone angel, still struggling to achieve angelic perfection, will join the choir again this year. And, of course the au- dience will be expected to participate in the carol sing -a -long. A narrator, a harp, and a brass ensemble will complete what pro- mises to be a most enjoyable concert. "The Festival Singers concert is always the first event for me in the celebration of Christmas," said Katherine Kaszas, Ar- tisitic Director of the Blyth Festival, in an interview last December. Bring your family and friends at either 3 or 8 p.m. and plan to join the choir in the lower hall for mulled cider following each performance. Tickets are $5 for adults and $1.50 for children and can be reserved by contacting choir members of the Festival Box Office at 523-9300 or the Blyth Saga, 523-4331.
