'Carol Around The World' With Ridgewood Chorus At Weekend Concerts

RIDGEWOOD, NJ — Don't miss the festive fun of listening to Ridgewood's New Jersey Choral Society sing age-old Christmas carols from around the globe during its upcoming three-concert series.

For its "Caroling, Caroling Around the World" series, the 65-voice chorus, according to a Facebook post, has put in extra effort this year to make sure audience members have a "fabulous musical experience" at its concerts, which begin on Saturday.

Beautiful carols from Nigeria, Estonia, Ukraine, Austria and others will complete the setlist — these will not be your "typical holiday performances," the chorus said, but "magical experiences" that leave viewers wanting more of its hallmark passion and imagination.

"We even have an opportunity for you to sing along," the chorus said.

Performances are at 7:30 p.m. Saturday and at 3 p.m. Sunday at Our Lady of the Valley Roman Catholic Church in Wayne and at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at the West Side Presbyterian Church in Ridgewood. The Inside Line, the chorus' pre-concert presentation, takes place an hour before each concert.

Tickets are $30 regular admission, $25 for students and seniors and $12 for children under 12. There is an additional $5 discount for individuals with disabilities and up to three companions (please call 201-273-9027 for information).
