The concert will take place at the Faro De Luz Seventh Day Adventist Church (formerly the First Presbyterian Church) at 1605 Genesee St, in Utica, NY, at 3:00 p.m. on Sunday, December 7.
Tickets are $15 in advance or $18 on the day of the concert and are available at the Mohawk Valley Center for the Arts in Little Falls, Weisser’s Jewelers in Herkimer, and at the New Hartford Presbyterian Church.

Composed by Robert and Robert Russell Bennett with traditional English carols such as Away in a Manger, Hark the Herald Angels Sing and The First Nowell, the four musical suites of The Many Moods of Christmas include carols from various European countries.
