The Phipps Festival Chorus will present a concert in celebration of the Christmas season on Saturday, Dec. 5 at 8:00pm, and again on Sunday, Dec. 6 at 2:00pm. Both concerts will be held at the Phipps Center for the Arts in Hudson, Wisconsin. Enjoy “the most wonderful time of the year” with seasonal selections to stir the soul and warm the heart performed by this popular 45-voice choir - a treat for Twin Cities (Minnesota) and Western Wisconsin area residents, since several of the works on the program are by area composers/arrangers.
