2017 Christmas Cantata
This summer found us busy once again thinking about what cantata we would like to present in December and we are excited to bring back the one we did in 2012 - O Holy Night! As indicated by the title, this cantata is built around "O Holy Night" and also contains arrangements of several traditional Christmas carols. we will continue to infuse "Jesus at the Center of it All" and "My Soul, My Soul" as well as the tradition of having the audience sing along on "Silent Night" and "Joy to the World" and perhaps even "O Come, All Ye Faithful". It promises to be another memorable event, with the opportunity to yet again tell the story that needs to be heard by many.
We have reserved the Bremer Bank Theatre at the NDSCS Cultural Center for Saturday, December 9th and Sunday, December 10th for this year's performances. It is such a joy that we will once again have a full orchestra as part of this year's cantata.
We are planning to gather at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, October 4th (hoping to continue to use the Breckenridge High School Choir Room). We will have books and CD's for you at that first gathering. The plan is to rehears on most Wednesdays between then and the weekend of the performances.
Last year we had 70+ singers that were involved and we are hoping for even more this year! With the 9 new choir risers that NDSCS purchased last year, we have the capacity to grow to up to 90 singers. Whadya say we work together to "Fill the Risers"!! We are asking for your help to spread the word and invite others to join us. We do have a list of recent singers but we're certain there are many others not on that list that would love to be involved. We welcome all who have a passion to sing and praise God! If you have friends or family that you'd like us to add to our email list, please let us know and we'll include them.
We are very much looking forward to seeing you on the October 11th. An email will sent in advance of that date letting you know for sure where that rehearsal will be held. If you are unable to make that first gathering, please let us know your intentions. We want to make sure we have plenty of books on hand.
God's Blessings!
