Music filled the air at Lawrenceville Elementary School for the annual winter holiday concert on Dec. 13.

Children in first, second and third grade performed musical selections based on the theme of “we wish you peace.” Songs focused on unity, peace and spreading joy.

Under the direction of LES’ new music director Daniel Beal, students sang songs in four different languages, Spanish, Hebrew, Swahili and English.

The stage was adorned with holiday decorations with musical notes and doves, created by the children and art specialist Maria Raimondo.

Beal provided the accompaniment on the piano while the children sang, danced and played rhythm instruments and the chimes.
