The Craig Bay Choristers’ annual Christmas concert is promising to be an entertaining evening of heart-warming music.
The 70-plus voice choir is in fine form and their annual Christmas concert titled It’s That Time of Year will be performed at Knox United Church, Thursday, Dec. 15 at 7 p.m.
Colleen Welsh said the program will include beautiful arrangements of songs such as The Little Drummer Boy/Peace on Earth and When A Child Is Born, but it’s not all serious. Fun pieces like The 12 Days After Christmas and Let’s Hear It For Mrs. Claus round out a varied and entertaining evening. The audience is welcome to sing along to the well loved carols and just in case memory fails you, the words will be up on the big screen to help you sing along.
Karen Withers-Janssen joins the choir once again to play her haunting flute accompaniment.
With Carl at the piano, Wally on percussion and Stan and George on guitar all under the direction of Kelly Volk, it will be an evening filled with music, dancing and laughter.
Welsh said the group has been singing for nine years. They practice every Tuesday at the Craig Bay clubhouse and like their name says, you have to live in Craig Bay to be a part of it.
This year the Choristers will donate the net proceeds from the concert to the Oceanside Hospice Society to help them continue their important work in the community. Welsh said last year their choral group raised $1,900 for hospice. Tickets for the Dec. 15 concert are $10 each and will be available from chorus members and at the office of Knox United Church.
