Cantori concert
The Albert Lea Cantori will present “Singing in the Season” at 3 p.m. Sunday at United Methodist Church, at 702 S. Hwy 69. Doors open at 2:30 p.m., and the concert, which will feature favorite carols and new Christmas songs, starts at 3 p.m. Because of the increasing numbers of influenza and COVID-19, masks are required. Albert Lea Cantori will be celebrating their 50th season this year.
The choir started in 1972 under the direction of Gene Janssen, music director at Grace Lutheran Church. In 1979, he asked Eileen Nelson Nes to direct the choir, which she has done since that time. Over the years, singers have come from over a 30-mile radius to sing with the choir.
The concert is free and no tickets are necessary. A freewill offering will be received.
