Kemp Carolers Holiday Reunion

Calvary Presbyterian Church, 217 Fernbrook Avenue, Wyncote, PA

Benefit Concert for the Academy Chorale & Chamber Society

Come hear favorite Christmas carols, excerpts of Vivaldi’s “Gloria”, and delightful family rounds and canons. The Kemp family has been singing together for as long as any of them remember. Decades ago, when John and Helen Kemp took a Sabbatical to Europe, the seven-member family sang 80 concerts throughout Holland and other countries. In due time, their children married musicians, raised more musicians, and the Family Choir grew! It now includes professional singers, voice teachers, and choir directors, among others who just love to sing. Four singing generations are represented, from Helen Kemp, the 93-year old matriarch, to her great grandchildren. When one combines holiday spirit with love of family, beautiful singing, and wonderful music, you have a recipe for an extraordinary concert you won’t want to miss!
