Get into the holiday spirit at a Christmas concert featuring the Winston-Salem Pops Chorus, part of the Bingham Arts Series, a program of the Shallow Ford Foundation on Sunday, Dec. 8, from 3:00-4:30 p.m. in the Magnolia Room at Historic Broyhill.

The Winston-Salem Pops Chorus is a community ensemble consisting of 30 voices, made up of friends and neighbors who specialize in choral arrangements of music from the Big Band era, bebop, early rock and roll, pop music from the 1960s through early 1970s, and a scattering of Broadway show tunes. The chorus is under the direction of Kevin Mundy, with Robert Rocco serving as the associate director and accompanist.

The chorus is excited to bring their Christmas holiday show, Holiday Songs YULE Love, to the Clemmons community. The show will feature fun, well-loved and family-friendly Christmas melodies. Additionally, you can look forward to several pieces by The POPouts, a select group of auditioned singers from the larger ensemble, along with various solo performances. Kevin Mundy surveyed chorus members to rate their favorite holiday songs and included the top selections in this year’s repertoire. According to Mundy, this inspired the show’s title explaining, “If they love these songs, we think that ‘yule’ love them too.”

This event is free and open to the public. Doors open at 2:30 p.m. Seating is limited and will be on a first-come, first-seated basis. There will be a brief intermission. The Shallow Ford Foundation is providing hot cocoa and cider from Be Kind Coffee along with cookies.
