Get into the holiday frame of mind this season with the Sea Notes Christmas concert. Approximately 100 members of Sea Notes Choral Society will present their ever-popular and long-awaited 2022 Christmas Concert at Odell Williamson Auditorium on the campus of Brunswick Community College. Performances are scheduled for Saturday, Dec. 3 and Sunday, Dec. 4. Both shows are at 3 p.m. Marie-Pierre Fletcher will direct the concert entitled “Waiting for Christmas,” and Sandy Rushing will be the principal accompanist. The program includes the endearing story of a little girl waiting for Christmas to arrive, along with a number of traditional Christmas songs.

Marie-Pierre was born and raised in Luxembourg. She completed her musical studies at the Conservatory of Music in Luxembourg and had an amazing career teaching high school, being a soloist, directing choirs, composing and arranging music. In 2013 she immigrated to the United States and resides with her husband in Holden Beach. She joined Sea Notes in 2014 and has enjoyed making music with her friends, singing, and directing. In July 2017, she became a proud U.S. citizen.

We have weekly practices at St. Peter’s Lutheran Church in Southport and perform at Odell Williamson Auditorium three times per year.
