The Tidewater Singers will present an a cappella concert of traditional and contemporary Christmas music on Friday, December 9 at 7:30 pm at the Oxford Community Center in Oxford, on Saturday, December 10 at 7:30 pm at Trinity Cathedral in Easton, and on Sunday, December 11 at 4:00 pm at Christ Episcopal Church in Cambridge.
Under the direction of William Thomas, The Tidewater Singers are a select group of professional and amateur singers founded in 2001. The goal is to bring varied and exciting quality choral music to the Eastern Shore.
“A cappella Christmas Favorites 2016” features encores of the Tidewater Singers’ well-received performances of Gorecki’s Totus Tuus, Willan’s Hodie Christus natus est, and others. The a cappella concert is rounded out with music by Herbert Howells, Moses Hogan, and Dave Brubeck. The Tidewater Singers are renowned throughout the mid shore area for their a cappella work.
Now in his ninth season as artistic director of the Tidewater Singers, Thomas is associate professor of music at Chesapeake College. Previously he directed the choirs at Easton High School and at Christ Church (Episcopal) in St. Michaels.
