'Noel Duo' to sing Christmas classics at The Garlands

Celebrate the holidays on Sunday, Dec. 11, as Bravissimo Vocal Ensemble presents an uplifting concert of Christmas classics and seasonal favorites at the Garlands of Barrington.

At 3 p.m., local sopranos, Susan Dennis of Bartlett and Kimberly Albrecht of Hawthorn Woods will perform "Noel Duo," duets and solos, accompanied by Alex Zintchenko of Palatine, at The Garlands' Performing Arts Center, 1000 Garlands Lane, Barrington. Admission is free and open to the public, but reservations are requested.
