The Garrett Choral Society, under the direction of Julie Turrentine, will present a concert titled “Christmas Joy,” which will feature J.S. Bach’s Magnificat along with a number of other Christmas works, this weekend. The concerts will be held on Saturday, Dec. 11, at 8 p.m. and Sunday, Dec. 12, at 2 p.m. at St. Peter’s at the Lake Catholic Center, located along Mosser Road, just past Garrett College on the right. The Magnificat, which will be presented as the first half of the program, is a major vocal work of Johann Sebastian Bach. The text is the canticle of Mary, mother of Jesus, as told in the Book of Luke. There are 12 movements, and the work will feature soloists Dave Callis, Betsy Dempsey, Beth Mankin Moore, Jim Tong, and Mary McEwen, along with a duet by Jane Nolan and Judy Bertsch, and a trio by Carolyn Deverse, Mary Lee Moore, and Joan Lambert.
