The North Carolina Boys Choir will present their Spring Concert at First Presbyterian Church on Sunday, June 4 at 5:00 p.m. in the sanctuary.  The choir was founded 45 years ago at First Presbyterian by Bill Graham and is glad to return home for this event.  Currently led by Robert Unger and David Cole, the treble-voiced boys in the concert choir are augmented by a chamber choir of several fathers and alumni singing tenor and bass on a number of selections.  A girls’ ensemble Prima will also participate, along with the training choir.  The program will consist of classical, folk, and patriotic selections, with some audience participation.  Composers include Casals, Faure’, Parry, and Purcell.  Admission is free but donations are welcome. 

June 4 is a day of celebration.  During the 11:00 a.m. worship, we will acknowledge our Class of 2017 high school  and college graduates.  We will also ordain and install new officers.  All are welcome.
