DESCRIPTION:One of Annapolis&rsquo\; best-loved holiday traditions is the
  Annapolis Chorale&rsquo\;s annual Celebration of Christmas concerts.&nb
 sp\;&nbsp\;\nThe holidays wouldn&rsquo\;t be complete without the sound 
 of &ldquo\;carols being sung by a choir\,&rdquo\; in this case a really 
 big choir. The Chorale&rsquo\;s Celebration of Christmas concerts\, led 
 by Live Arts Maryland Music Director J. Ernest Green\, are Thursday\, De
 cember 6 (7:30 p.m.) and Friday\, December 7 (8 p.m.) at Maryland Hall f
 or the Creative Arts.&nbsp\; &nbsp\;\n&ldquo\;Everyone has a favorite ho
 liday carol or song and we work hard to&nbsp\;include as many as we can\
 ,&rdquo\; says Mr. Green.&nbsp\;\nWith a mix of holiday music\, sentimen
 ts and fun\, the Chorale welcomes the season with the Annapolis Youth Ch
 orus and special guests soprano Christina Lamberti and baritone Michael 
 Ryan.&nbsp\; Providing glorious accompaniment to all the musical proceed
 ings is the Annapolis Chamber Orchestra.\n&nbsp\;An accomplished opera s
 inger at home and abroad\, Ms. Lamberti&rsquo\;s singing has been called
  luscious\, eloquent and powerful.&nbsp\;&nbsp\;\nShe was the soprano so
 loist with the Annapolis Chorale for last season&rsquo\;s performances o
 f the Verdi Requiem. She is a veteran opera performer\, having sung such
  roles as Donna Elvira in &ldquo\;Don Giovanni&rdquo\; and Mimi in &ldqu
 o\;La Boheme.&rdquo\;&nbsp\;\nOne if this year&rsquo\;s concert highligh
 ts will be Ms. Lamberti&rsquo\;s performance of &ldquo\;O Holy Night.&rd
 quo\;&nbsp\; Mr. Ryan\, who performed for presidents and world leaders f
 or nearly 40 years as a member of The President&rsquo\;s Own Marine Band
