3. It's that time of year, time for the Annual Holiday Lake Norman Philharmonic Concert. According to allevents, "The Lake Norman Philharmonic is excited to return to the Charles Mack Citizen Center for its Annual Holiday Concert! This year, the concert will feature some very special guests – students of the Piedmont Community Charter Middle School Chorus. Directed and taught by Ms. Elizabeth Henderson, the Chorus hails from Piedmont Community Charter School in Gastonia, NC. Ms. Henderson has been teaching music and chorus to students since 2005 including teaching at international schools in China and Spain. Her students will be performing several selections with the Orchestra, including Believe from The Polar Express. Another special guest this year is soloist Joshua Adkins, Executive Director of the Gaston School of the Arts. Mr. Adkins will be performing one of our holiday favorites, I’ll Be Home for Christmas. The Orchestra will play holiday favorites such as Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas and it wouldn’t be the holidays without a seasonal favorite, Sleigh Ride, along with other popular holiday tunes to lift your spirits! "This concert is a collaborative event that will showcase the local and regional talent that have worked very hard to bring the best of their holiday music to the community," Conductor Eduardo Cedeňo said. Seating is in the large banquet hall but may be limited; doors open at 3:50 p.m. Free parking is located in the back of the Charles Mack Citizen Center.
