THE PITTSBURGH
CONCERT CHORALE
ANNOUNCES 2019-
2020 SEASON
The Pittsburgh Concert Chorale
has announced its 2019-2020 concert
schedule, which celebrates 35 years of
singing.
“The Pittsburgh Concert Chorale
has some big plans in store for our 35th
anniversary season, which begins with
our eighth annual Pittsburgh Sings: The
Pittsburgh Concert Chorale Festival of
Choirs at Carnegie Music Hall in Oakland.
Pittsburgh Sings brings together three high
school choirs from the greater Pittsburgh
region in a celebration of choral music,
and this year the event is offered free of
charge to everyone. In December we will
be joined by the Jazz Conspiracy Swingtet
for A Big Band Christmas, which will offer
a swinging mix of holiday favorites and
sing-alongs. We’re also pleased to present
our third annual Messiah Sing, a free
event that invites audience members to
join the PCC in singing Handel’s beloved
masterpiece. A perennial audience favorite,
Orff’s Carmina burana takes center
stage for our spring concerts, including
a special performance at Carnegie
Music Hall in Oakland. Our audience
members and singers will choose the
music in our May concerts, 35 Years of
Favorites. Throughout the year people
are invited to submit their favorites from
past seasons, and those requests will form
the program for our final concerts of the
season. We are so excited to celebrate our
35th anniversary, and we look forward
to sharing this special season with
our audiences,” Music Director Susan
Medley says.
The concert schedule is as follows:
Big Band Christmas, 7:30 p.m. Friday,
Dec. 6 and 4 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 8, at
Ingomar United Methodist Church; and
7:30 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 7, at Fox Chapel
Presbyterian Church. PCC joins forces
with the Jazz Conspiracy Swingtet for
Christmas music with a swing!
Messiah Sing, 2 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 15,
at St Paul’s United Methodist Church
in Allison Park. Audience members are
invited to sing with the choir members,
professional orchestra, and soloists to Part
1 of Handel’s masterwork.
Carmina burana, 7:30 p.m. Friday,
Feb. 28, at Ingomar United Methodist
Church and 4 p.m. Sunday, March 1,
at Carnegie Music Hall in Oakland.
The epic masterpiece by Carl Orff will
be performed by the PCC with Orff’s
authorized arrangement for two pianos
and percussion.
In April, the PCC celebrates 35
years with a Gala Celebration! From a
silent auction to a dessert bar, this will
be an event not to be missed. Further

posted on the website soon.
35 Years of Favorites, 7:30 p.m. Saturday,

ONE-OF-A-KIND CAR DONATION PROGRAM
Community Auto, part of The Lighthouse Foundation, is a nonprofit, low income
car ownership program. It accepts donated cars, repairs and inspects them if necessary,
then sells them to qualified working low-income people at discounted prices, as
compared to a regular used car dealership.
According to the organization, it is the only one of its kind in western Pennsylvania
that puts cars back into the hands of families in the Greater Pittsburgh area.
The used car sitting in the garage that you didn’t sell because it was a hassle, the car
that didn’t get the trade-in value you wanted, or a car the kids used for school but is no
longer needed would be the perfect car to donate. Your generous donation is the fuel
for the program and is tax deductible.
Contact Community Auto at communityautolico.org or at 724.538.5081 to find out
how to donate your car and give a family a hand toward self-sufficiency. ■
