The Opus One Women’s Choir and Langley Concert Band are hosting Welcome Yule, a joint concert at Langley Immanuel Christian Reformed Church on Nov. 28.

Led by artistic director Brenda Wilson, the groups have been rehearsing their seasonal selections since September, and are excited to present this unique blend of choir and band music to the public.

The Langley Concert Band formed in 2003 as a beginner adult band. Many members had not picked up their instrument since high school, while others learned their instruments in their senior years.

Today, the band has 22 musicians of all ages who enjoy playing different styles of music.

They have performed at public concerts and community events, including the Ladner Bandfest, Langley Canada Day and Langley Day of Pos-Abilities.

Brenda Wilson started the Opus One Women’s Choir in 2011. The 32 singers range in age from 20 to 80 and are united by a love of singing.

They sing in two, three and four part harmony in a variety of musical styles.

The choir has another upcoming performance on Dec. 6 at the South Fraser Unitarian Congregation, 13775 70 Ave. in Surrey.
