What:
On Sunday, December 19, 2010 at 3:00 p.m., the Victorian Belles of the Beaux and Belles will present a Christmas concert at the Monday Club to benefit Fortuna Senior Services‘ programs. The Victorian-costumed group will sing traditional carols along with some modern-day songs. The audience will be invited to sing along with traditional carols such as It Came Upon a Midnight Clear and Once in Royal David‘s City. Featured will be two choral readings, The Message written by Nanette Heidtman, and A Christmas Alphabet writtenby Marion Conger. Music will be interspersed with readings of Christmas themed poems and stories including Why Christmas Trees Are Not Perfect and an excerpt from Stubby Pringle’s Christmas. Beaux & Belles accompanist Carol Masterson on piano will be joined by Janet Sclar on the violin for two instrumental pieces. Janet will also join Carol to accompany several of the carols that the group will be singing. This concert is suitable for the entire family.
Under the direction of Nanette Heidtman, the Beaux & Belles have been performing for the past three years. The all-volunteer group performs a Valentine program, a summer program featuring Victorian music, and their traditional Christmas program. For further information about the performance, contact Nanette Heidtman at 725-3231 or email at
