Thanksgiving Community Hymn Sing Comes to the Vergennes Opera House

The Friends of the Vergennes Opera House will once again present the Thanksgiving Community Hymn Sing event on Sunday, November 24, at 3pm. This event is free to everyone with a free-will offering welcome to go toward supporting the All Access Project.

“A packed house full of thankful hearts, and immediate requests for us to do this again, prompted us to bring everyone together to present this year’s community hymn sing,” said Suzanne Rood, Vergennes Opera House Board Member and concert organizer. “Local musicians from over a dozen area churches have been looking forward to once again joining together to lead the audience in singing traditional favorite hymns and popular contemporary worship songs.”

The Champlain Brass Ensemble will start the event, leading the audience in five traditional hymns, followed by a piano duet featuring siblings Micah and Owen Clevenstine. The 35-voice Addison County Gospel Choir with featured soloists backed by piano, guitar, bass, and drums will then take the stage and sing modern arrangements of favorite hymns and contemporary praise songs. This event promises to lift your spirits as we focus on all that we are thankful for. Song books will be provided at the door.
