November 30, 2012 @ 12:00 AM

HUNTINGTON -- It was beginning to look a lot like Christmas on Thursday night at Johnson Memorial United Methodist Church, where the Marshall University Choral Union teamed up with the West Virginia Symphony Chorus in the first of two performances for the combined chorus.

Each night features a performance of Mar-Antoine Charpentier's "Midnight Mass for Christmas," which is being conducted by David Castleberry, conductor of the MU Choral Union.

The next performance will take place at 8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 30, at Christ Church United Methodist, located at the intersection of Quarrier and Morris Streets in Charleston.

Admission is free and open to the public, and donations are accepted.
