The RVCC Chorale will perform its annual holiday concert Saturday, December 4, at 8 p.m. The performance will be held in the Welpe Theatre at Raritan Valley Community College’s Branchburg Campus.
The Chorale is composed of current and former RVCC students, as well as members of the community. It is conducted by John Sichel, a full-time faculty member in the College’s Visual and Performing Arts Department. Heidi Lowy-Pease is the accompanist.
