(In Athens Banner Herald) On Thursday, the 20-voice Lyric League returns to the stage at 7:30 p.m. at Holy Cross Lutheran Church. Although the "Give Us Hope" concert is free, donations will be accepted on behalf of the Interfaith Hospitality Network, which assists homeless families with shelter, meals, childcare and job searches.
The concert will feature inspirational and choral music ranging from "Just a Closer Walk" to "Bridge Over Troubled Waters," and a post-concert reception in the church's fellowship hall will give Lyric League members an opportunity to sing some of their favorite works from previous events.
The Lyric League was founded in 2005 by Dell Hitchcock and her husband Nelson. Singers hail from Athens, Watkinsville, Winder, Commerce, Statham, Bishop and Elberton.
