The Joliet Junior College Chorale will present its Ninth Annual Carols and Chocolate concert on Sunday, Dec. 12, at 3 p.m. in the Fine Arts Theatre on the Main Campus, 1215 Houbolt Road.
 
Following the concert, the audience will be invited to enjoy a complimentary buffet of fabulous chocolate delights donated by local businesses, including Barolo's Ristorante, Dan's Home Made Candy Shop and Macy's, as well as by members of the Chorale.
 
The program, selected by conductor and JJC professor of music Philip Spencer, will feature "Gloria" by Antonio Vivaldi, a well-known Baroque-era choral work. The performance will feature student and faculty soloists and instrumentalists in addition to the 50-voice community choir.
 
The concert will also include a variety of entertaining carols and anthems for the holiday season, including "Oh, Channukah!" "Some Children See Him," "My Lord, What A Morning!" "I'll Be Home For Christmas," and "We Need a Little Christmas," from the musical "Mame."
 
Tickets are available at the Fine Arts Theatre Box Office one hour prior to the concert. Cost to attend is $5 for adults; $4 for JJC faculty and staff, non-JJC students, and senior citizens; and $2 for JJC students.
