Church sets concert, Trunk or Treat

The Lancaster Church of the Brethren, 1601 Sunset Ave., Lancaster, will host a concert and a Trunk or Treat event.

The Starlight Tea Concert Series will continue with a performance by internationally acclaimed pianist Maria Thompson Corley, joined by tenor Christyan Seay, on Saturday, Oct. 26, at 7 p.m. The duo will perform a variety of music, including some of Corley's arrangements as well as classical pieces, hymns, and African music.

Corley earned her master's and doctoral degrees in piano performance from the Juilliard School and has performed as a solo and collaborative pianist in the U.S. and abroad. She is also a composer, and her songs, choral and instrumental works, and arrangements have been commissioned by renowned performers and institutions and have been studied, performed, and recorded by musicians in the U.S. and abroad.

Seay grew up in central Pennsylvania and is a graduate of the Pennsylvania State University. Active in recital, oratorio, and opera settings, Seay performs throughout central Pennsylvania and beyond, including concert venues in New York City; Philadelphia; Washington, D.C.; and Europe. He has performed with regional orchestras and opera companies and with internationally acclaimed organist Diane Bish.

Admission is free, and a freewill offering will be received to help continue the concert series. Tea and cookies will be served following the concert.

For more information, call planning committee chair Giny Mackey at 717-201-8450.

In addition, the church will host its fourth annual Trunk or Treat night on Thursday, Oct. 31. Church members and friends will decorate vehicles and give out candy and treats in the church parking lot from 6 to 7:30 p.m.

Last year, candy was provided at 25 vehicles for an estimated 220 kids and about as many family members.

If Manheim Township reschedules its trick-or-treat night due to inclement weather, the church's event will follow suit.
