Christmas Program



I have participated in the Accragio International Choir since September. This is part of the group during a Christmas performance in December. This was at the Nungua Community Library. We presented 2 other concerts with the full choir, but I don't have any pictures of them.
Many of the people in this choir are connected with several of the embassies located here in Accra. The lady next to me is the 2nd in command at the U S Embassy. The lady behind her is from Australia and the lady behind me is from Sweden. Some of the other countries represented include Germany, Denmark, England, The Netherlands, Italy, and of course, Africa. It has really been a fun group with which to be connected.

As part of the program, I participated with these ladies playing the recorder. We played 4 Christmas Carols.

We had some excellent drummers accompany us on a couple of our African songs. We also had some fantastic African dancers, but the pictures would not upload to this site.

While the choir sang a beautiful rendition of "Silent Night," several kids who regularly come to the library, acted out the Manger Scene.
