Something different for your calendar this holiday season
I just got word that Horns A Plenty Christmas will be performing again in the Appleton / Neenah area this December 17th at 2:30 PM at the Fox Valley Lutheran High School. If you have not heard a concert of Horns A Plenty Christmas, you are in for a treat.
The group is all volunteer of all abilities. The music is easy to play but well arranged. The result is, after a short rehearsal, a wonderful concert of Christmas music played by a large choir of french horns, all in four part harmony. There is no admission charge, but donations are used to fund scholarships for french horn students.
The sound of a french horn choir is very unique and well worth the trip to Neenah on December 17th. Be sure to put it on your calendar.
