PROVIDENCE – The Gregorian Concert Choir and Festival Orchestra, under the direction of Father Anthony Mancini, will perform a concert called “The Sounds of the Season,” featuring sacred music of Advent and Christmas, on Sunday, December 7, 2008 at 3:00 p.m. at the Cathedral of SS. Peter & Paul in Providence.
A reception will follow in the Cathedral hall. The festive concert will feature Christmas and Advent music as well as some Christmas carols.
Tickets to the event are $10 per person and proceeds will benefit the ‘Keep the Heat On’ heating assistance program that serves as a last resort for struggling individuals and families who have exhausted all other public and private aid.
Last year more than 580 individuals and organizations contributed $132,983 to the fund, far surpassing the $75,000 goal. Combined with a Catholic Charity Fund grant and a grant from an anonymous individual, a total of $282,983 was made available to assist more than 890 struggling Rhode Island households with their oil, natural gas and electric heating needs
For more information or to order tickets, please call the Cathedral Office at 331-2434.
