According to Dr. Richard Nickerson, the conductor, the concerts will take place on Saturday, Dec. 6 at the Windham Performing Arts Center with two performances at 2 and 7:30 p.m. This heartwarming event is set to captivate audiences of all ages and promises to be a memorable experience for families, friends, and music enthusiasts alike.

Nickerson recently announced that he will be retiring at the conclusion of this school year, and this performance is being billed as The Finale.

“This concert is more than a performance,” said Nickerson. “AmFam is a gathering of voices, and traditions that remind us of the beauty and hope this season brings. This cherished tradition has brought holiday joy to, not only the community, but to many generations of singers as well.”

Tickets will go on sale at 8 a.m. Monday, Oct. 6.

The Windham Chamber Singers are pleased to welcome back Daniel Strange, a Windham Chamber Singers alumnus and on the faculty at the University of Miami. Also returning will be crowd favorite Ashley Liberty.

This year’s headliner will be Broadway legend Norm Lewis.

An Emmy, Tony, and SAG Award nominee, Lewis recently starred in Spike Lee’s critically acclaimed, “Da 5 Bloods,” and in the groundbreaking FX series, Pose. Additionally, Lewis can be seen starring in ABC’s newest series, Women of The Movement, and offscreen, his voice can be heard in the latest season of Apple TV’s animated series, Central Park. He was also seen as “Caiaphas” in the award-winning NBC television special, “Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert,” alongside John Legend, Sara Bareilles, and Alice Cooper.

In May 2014, Lewis made history as The Phantom of the Opera’s first African American portrayer of the Phantom on Broadway. This will be his fourth appearance at An American Family Holiday.
