WILCOX — Grace Notes Studio of Wilcox proudly presents “Christmas Gifts” — a virtual Christmas concert.
It will stream via Facebook Live at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday. The event is public, so viewers do not need to have a Facebook account to watch it. They will find it on the Grace Notes Studio page or on the “Christmas Gifts Concert” event page.
Every year, Grace Notes Studio produces a few professional Christmas concerts at The Kane Memorial Chapel and Holy Rosary Church. Due to COVID restrictions, the studio was not able to have in-person concerts this year.
Studio owner, Tracie Pretak, felt very strongly that they still needed to do a concert somehow.
“I love sharing Christmas music,” she said. “The songs have messages that are full of hope, joy, peace and love. We need those themes right now more than ever! I had to find a way to still share our music, relieve people’s stress, and lift everyone’s spirit this year. So I recruited a team of virtual performers to entertain you in the comfort of your own living room.”
For anyone who misses the concert, the video will be recorded and they can view it any time on the Grace Notes Studio page.
