Who’s going to grandma’s house this week?
This is a beautiful performance of “Over the River and Through the Woods.”
Even though the chorale is just a memory, did you know you can still subscribe to the Presque Isle Chorale YouTube channel? There are playlists by concert and also longer playlists of all Christmas or all spring concerts. https://youtu.be/R2et1JD_Tgs

After a break of nearly two years, due to the pandemic, the Presque Isle Chorale came back for one last season and presented its final concert in December 2021. Here is the finale, O Holy Night, which always brought Brenda Dolwick to tears. At this concert, there were very few dry eyes in the church. Thank you for 40 years of singing.
