The Morris Park Singers are back for our 7th season and our newest concert, &quot;The Giving Tree&quot;.&nbsp; Come join us on Monday, December 8th or 15th at 7:30pm at Mill City Church for an evening of great choral music inspired by the beloved Shel Silverstein book. For those who are not able to attend the concert in-person, we are offering an On Demand option following the concerts closing. Ticket sales for that will go live following the December 15th concert. **Please consider adding a small donation to your ticket purchase. All of those small amounts add up and go a long way in helping order sheet music, pay our rent, pay our staff, and giving our singers and community and music outlet.** If you have any questions, please reach out to <a fr-original-style="text-decoration-color:initial;user-select:auto;box-sizing:inherit;" href="mailto:info@morrisparksingers.org" style="text-decoration-color:initial;user-select:auto;box-sizing:inherit;" target="_blank">info@morrisparksingers.org</a> and we will get back to you as soon as possible! Thank you in advance for your support of the Morris Park Singers and helping our ever-growing choir continue to thrive!! NOTES ABOUT THE CONCERT:&quot;The Giving Tree&quot; is considered one of the most beloved books of all time. Playing with themes of love and struggle, the book explores the complicated relationship between the Giving Tree and the Boy. While there are many different interpretations of this relationship, the one that often pulls forward is the unconditional love between a parent and child. Leaning into that interpretation, the Morris Park Singers tell the story of &quot;The Giving Tree&quot; from beginning to end through a beautiful array of choral music.&nbsp;
