Bel Canto Company of Greensboro gave a lovely performance of its Christmas program, "A Roamin' Holliday," last night at First Presbyterian Church in High Point.

This is a very talented, expertly directed choir. Excellent solo lines were delivered by Hannah Carter in "Once in Royal David's City," Bill Snedden, Gerald Whittington and Anne Campbell in "Il est Ne le Divin Enfant," Shana DiCamillo and James Wilson in "Rie, Riu, Chiu" and Hillary Webb in "Go Tell it on the Mountain." My favorite piece was a "Betelehemu," a spirited Nigerian carol.

The program, sponsored by First Presbyterian, was international and really appreciated by a capacity audience in the large church sanctuary. Bel Canto is a first-rate cultural asset in the community.
