Christmas tree-trimming party with pizza - Wednesday, December 1
holiday concert by the alcorn state university choir - Sunday, December 5
The annual Natchez Christmas season concert by Alcorn State University Concert Choir will take place at 6 p.m., Sunday, Dec. 5, at Trinity Episcopal Church, 305 S. Commerce St.
The free, hour-long, formal concert, called “A Holiday Concert Featuring Traditional and Non-Traditional Choral Works,” will be directed by Dr. Alona T. Alexander and accompanied by pianist Tony Gordon. Both are members of the Alcorn Music Department faculty.
Concert selections include “Veni, Sancte Spiritus” by W. A. Mozart; “How Can I Keep from Singing?” arranged by Ronald Staheli; “My God Is So High,” arranged by Moses Hogan; “This Christmastide,” arranged by Donald Fraser; and “The Twelve Days of Christmas,” arranged by Bob Chilcott. Other selections are by Javier Busto, Gerald Finzi, Donald Fraser, Stacey V. Gibbs, Elaine Hagenberg and Benjamin Harlan, Alexander said.
The Concert Choir is nationally known for performing in Washington, D.C., at the second inauguration of President George W. Bush on Jan. 20, 2005.
About 35 musicians will perform at the Trinity concert, including many students who are music majors.
“On behalf of Dr. Felicia M. Nave, president, and the entire Alcorn State University family, we say thank you to The Rev. Ken Ritter and the congregation at Trinity Episcopal Church for inviting the Alcorn State University Concert Choir to perform Dec. 5,” said Dr. Sean Daniels, Chair of Alcorn’s Fine Arts Department. “We are delighted to participate,” he said. “It is Trinity Church’s honor to host this award-winning choir,” Ritter said. “We invite everyone in the Miss-Lou to join us for an uplifting musical evening during this very special time of the year.”
Alcorn State University, with campuses in Lorman, Natchez and Vicksburg, is the nation’s oldest historically Black land-grant institution. Founded in 1871, Alcorn is celebrating its sesquicentennial during 2021-2022.

Advent evening prayer - Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays during advent
During Advent, lay readers will lead Evening Prayer in the Trinity church nave at 5:30 pm four nights a week: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. The series will begin on Monday, November 29th, and the final service will be held on Thursday, December 23rd.
This is a very special time in our parish - we start our new liturgical year by gathering quietly in the (somewhat) darkened church, It is a short service (less than 1/2 hour) and a wonderful sanity-preserving antidote to the cacophony of our secular world's pre-Christmas bustle. For more information, you can contact Kathleen Bond (katbondart@gmail.com).
