It’s not even December, but organizers believe this event will put everyone in the Christmas spirit.
Eclectica Community Choir member Barb Hooper says she’s heard it over and over again from folks – “’I don’t feel like it’s Christmas until I’ve been to your concert.’”
The local choir is hosting its Annual Benefit Concert, White Christmas, at Martin Exeter Hall in 100 Mile House on Dec. 8.
The show starts at 2 p.m.
Admission is by cash donation, and proceeds will go to the 100 Mile House Food Bank Society and Loaves & Fishes Outreach, Hooper says.
“It’s a lovely mixture of songs everyone knows and some more classical pieces.”
New this year are performances by bluegrass group, Five Alive, and Silk, a group of local singers.
Classical harmonica player Anthony Lau, formerly of 100 Mile House, is also scheduled to return for the show.
Eclectica includes close to 60 members. The group isn’t expecting everyone to perform, but it will be a large choir.
“It’s a very full feeling. It’s a very good sound.”
