This Sunday, December 14, at 5 PM, the Bardsdale United Methodist Church will proudly present its 40th annual Christmas Vespers program as a gift to the greater Fillmore community.
The one-hour concert by the Bardsdale Chancel Choir will continue the tradition of offering sounds of the season with a program that includes songs and arrangements ranging from the middle ages to a little bit of today’s modern jazz.
The first Vespers program was in 1969 under the direction of John Brothers, long-time Fillmore High School music and art teacher and the yearly programs continued to flourish under the leadership of Bill Bartels.
Marsha Porter now directs the talented group of voices and musicians and promises a fun-filled evening to add to the festiveness of the Christmas season. Roberta Palmer will accompany the choir at the church’s Schoenstein organ.
After the free concert, all are invited to enjoy refreshments downstairs in LeBard Hall. Bardsdale United Methodist Church is at 1498 Bardsdale Avenue, two miles south of Fillmore.
