With a festive theme of Welcome to December, the Lexington Choral Society will celebrate its 50th season with traditional carols and a few new additions.

The former assistant conductor noted that a mix of approximately 40 former and current members perform on Saturday, Dec. 3 at 5 p.m. The runtime for the show is approximately 1 hour 15 minutes. "We are glad to be back after COVID. We sang last year but we sang in masks. We’ve got a big group of people who have sung in the past who haven’t been singing for a couple of years."
