The Messiah University Concert Choir and Chamber Singers, currently touring churches and high schools in the Northeast, will stop Friday at the First Presbyterian Church of Southampton for an evening of uplifting chamber music starting at 7.

The group consists of 48 elite singers who study and perform under the direction of Joy Meade at the private Christian school in central Pennsylvania.

For the program, titled "I Love to Tell the Story," the selections "span the centuries to share stories of faith, from Renaissance motets to newly composed pieces by Messiah University faculty, arrangements of beloved spirituals and hymns, ancient prayer texts, and musical reflections on current events," the group said in an announcement.

Admission to the concert is free.
