The Andrew Carnegie Free Library & Music Hall and Carnegie Renaissance initiated a new holiday tradition on Sunday, December 19. It presented a holiday concert of familiar and not so familiar carols. Audience members were invited to sing along on traditional favorites. Choir members came from All Saints Polish National Church, Carnegie Presbyterian Church, Holy Virgin Russian Orthodox Church, Pittsburgh Savoyards, and Stage 62. Young musicians from the Pittsburgh Music Academy also presented selections.

Special programming for children included a special rendition of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. Holiday treats were given to the children at the end of the Community Carol Sing.

The Community Carol Sing was made possible through the generosity of PNC Bank.
