On the weekend before Christmas, the Onion River Chorus will be singing about “A Perfect Day” - but this perfect day is not about Christmas!

“A Perfect Day” is a 65-minute-long cantata written in 1994 by Plainfield composer Dennis Murphy (1934-2010), for solo tenor, chorus, and five instruments. “A Perfect Day,” along with three short pieces for organ also by Murphy, will be performed by Onion River Chorus, under the direction of Richard Riley.

There will be a reception following the Sunday concert, with proceeds to benefit the Montpelier Food Pantry. Tickets are $25 at the door or in advance at sevendaystickets.com. As always, 18 and under are free.
