Nothing says it’s the holidays like a winter concert. The Women’s Choral Ensemble will perform a variety of carols, religious pieces, gospel songs and a few selections from the holiday-requisite music of Irving Berlin on Dec. 11 in Heinz Chapel.

“The women of our group are fantastic and have been working tremendously hard on their music. This is the best sound we have had in years” said Maria Parker, the president and student director of the ensemble.

The group includes Pitt women undergraduate students, graduate students, staff and faculty.

“It is very festive and has a good balance of styles. Also all of our music is memorized this year which is pretty impressive considering that we only rehearse a little more than two hours a week,” said Kathryn Zoerb, the Soprano I section leader and the group’s alumni relations officer.

The ensemble will be joined for this performance by organist James Burns, who will accompany the group and provide interludes.
