This holiday season, Skylar Bunk, Music Director of the South Hills Chorale, debuts a choral arrangement he wrote especially for the ensemble. Skylar dedicates the piece to the local arts group writing, “In celebration of the 60th Anniversary of the South Hills Chorale and of the work in their community, especially during the holiday season.” The bespoke piece will be one of many heartfelt holiday choral arrangements from cultures around the world including a few familiar favorites.
