Featured guests will be the Tyndale Artist’ Ensemble under the direction of Dr. Jerry Smith. Composed of 22 selected voices, the Artists’ Ensemble was organized eight years ago to represent William Tyndale College throughout the Detroit metropolitan region. Their membership is composed of alumni, faculty and friends of the former Tyndale College who have excelled in their musical careers. William Tyndale College closed its doors in January 2005, but the ensemble has continued to perform. Its repertoire represents a large variety of sacred, classical and holiday music from the earliest madrigals to contemporary choral compositions. They will also be performing a variety of holiday and seasonal musical selections.
