Gregory Ristow, professor of music at LSC-Montgomery, holds the songbook for the college's December 7 holiday concert benefiting New Danville, a community where special-needs adults can live independently. Kathy Sanders, center, president of New Danville, and Dr. Tom Butler, president of LSC-Montgomery, are excited to bring this event to the community. It is the college's second annual holiday benefit concert. |
On Friday, December 7, at 7:30 p.m. Lone Star College-Montgomery choirs, orchestra, and soloists joined forces with Caney Creek High School choirs to perform Johann Sebastian Bach’s Advent cantata “Wachet Auf” (Sleepers, Wake”) and a variety of lighter holiday fare in the college’s Mainstage Theatre (Building D).
This benefit concert was held for New Danville. All ticket proceeds and contributions were donated to New Danville, a self-sustaining, master-planned community designed for special-needs adults and those with related conditions such as autism or traumatic head injury resulting from strokes or accidents. The total amount raised this year reached $1700.00. New Danville representatives will add this donation to their fundraising efforts to purchase a tractor for the facility.
The occasion marks the second year that LSC-Montgomery’s annual holiday concert has benefited a local non-profit organization. MORE>>>
