KURN HATTIN CHILDREN’S CHOIR JOINS GRAMMY WINNER NATALIE MACMASTER ON STAGE IN BELLOWS FALLS NOVEMBER 29

Forty members of the Kurn Hattin Homes Children’s Choir have been invited to join Grammy Award winning fiddler Natalie MacMaster in her “Christmas in Cape Breton” concert at the Bellows Falls Opera House on Thursday, November 29 at 7PM.

Concert producer Jay Craven of Kingdom County Productions selected Kurn Hattin’s choir to perform several holiday songs with MacMaster, whose North American tour includes performances from local children’s choirs. “During this holiday season, the addition of the Kurn Hattin Children’s Choir reminds of the artistic riches available in our own communities, the vitality of young people, and the importance of helping others,” says Craven. The Kurn Hattin Children's choir, directed by Lisa Bianconi, performs regularly throughout the northeast.
