Fall concert season
Sing With Us
Join us for a joyful Christmas season of choral music celebrating the beloved works of John Rutter, one of the most cherished composers of modern sacred choral music. Our featured major work will be Rutter’s Gloria, a vibrant and exhilarating setting that combines majestic brass-like energy with moments of lyrical beauty and reflection.
The program will also include a collection of seasonal favorites and audience-loved carols, including Candlelight Carol, Jesus Child, Joy to the World, Go Tell It on the Mountain, and I Wonder as I Wander. Together, these selections offer a blend of celebration, wonder, reverence, and holiday spirit that is sure to inspire both singers and audiences alike.
Rehearsals begin August 11, with open rehearsals during the first four weeks, allowing interested singers to experience the ensemble before committing. Season dues are $45, due by September 1.
Concerts will be held on December 3, 5, and 6.
We welcome singers who value musical growth, collaboration, and the shared experience of making meaningful music together.
