This year's Ember December will warm your heart with the theme "when love came down." Selections will include: "Love Came Down at Christmas" by Jessica French, "Il est né" arranged by J. David Moore, "Riu riu chiu" arranged by Michael McGlynn, "See dat babe" and "Go Tell it on the Mountain" arranged by Stacy Gibbs, "What Sweeter Music" by Timothy Amukele, and "Glow" by Eric Whitacre, among others.

Ember's core belief is that music has a unique power to affect the human heart and soul. Don't miss these annual concerts that Classical New Jersey Society Journal called "the most warmly rounded... blend I have ever heard in a live concert."
