Musical Applewhite family to perform at Asheboro library

Three generations of the Applewhite Family will present a concert of Christmas music for all ages at 7 p.m. Tuesday, December 1, at the Asheboro Public Library. The concert, sponsored by the Friends of the Library, is free and the public is invited.

The Applewhites started singing together many years ago around their mother at the piano, where they learned songs of faith and developed an ear for harmony. From that time on, many of the family have gone on to study voice and instruments at various places and schools including UNC Greensboro, Meredith College, Campbell University, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Greensboro College, Midwestern State University-Texas, North Carolina School of the Arts and East Carolina University.

Participating in this concert will be Jewel Applewhite, Sharon Applewhite Wiley, Donna Applewhite Beck, Marlo Applewhite Peddycord Francis, Nick Wiley, Stephen Wiley, Lauren Beck, Caroline Beck and Ben Peddycord.

The family will perform many genres of music, including sacred, Celtic instrumental, folk and contemporary. The program will include traditional Christmas carols and songs such as O Holy Night and Carol of the Bells, along with some surprises.

Pianist Lisa Johnson will provide accompaniment.
