For years, the New Jersey Chamber Singers has joined Holy Innocents Episcopal Church in Beach Haven for a performance of seasonal classics. The chamber ensemble, led by conductor Reid Masters, will again join the church on Sunday, April 26, at 4 p.m. to perform “Whymsy,” a choral concert of favorites.

“Every concert usually has at least one piece that seems to be everyone's favorite, and it’s usually the encore,” Masters, the group’s artistic director, stated. “This concert is packed full of encores.”

Joined by organist Kathleen Healy-Wedsworth, the concert will open with Benjamin Britten’s festival cantata “Rejoice in the Lamb.” In addition to a set of songs completely dedicated to animals, the program will feature a few parody songs and multicultural folk songs from Hungary, Australia and Taiwan.

A reception will follow the performance. Event admission is free, though offerings will be accepted.
