ATLANTA (Nov. 5, 2013) – It’s time again to gather the entire family in celebration of song and the season! The Morehouse and Spelman College glee clubs will come together once again to lift their voices in holiday cheer. The annual Christmas Carol Concert is a tradition that has been rousing the Atlanta community for more than three quarters of a century.
Over the years, thousands have made the concert, which is offered in three performances, part of their holiday kick-off tradition. The concert, which is a gift to the community, is free and open to public, but you will need a ticket for the Sisters Chapel performance that takes place at Spelman College on Saturday night.
