The Community Choir has been performing for Pagosa Springs audiences for more than 20 years, and the group’s Christmas concerts are beloved by the community and are a hallmark of local Christmas festivities.
The Community Choir in Pagosa Springs will begin rehearsals for our 2023 Christmas concerts on Tuesday, September 12. Rehearsals are held in the band room at Pagosa Springs High School weekly on Tuesdays from 7 to 8:30pm.
This year’s concerts will be held on December 8 and 9 at 7pm and on December 10 at 4pm. Our theme for this season is the “Sounds of the Season,” and Dan Burch has chosen some wonderful music for us to sing — Christmas favorites such as “The First Noel” and “O Come All Ye Faithful” along with some lesser-known and new pieces such as “Kneeling at the Manger.”
If you enjoy singing, please join us. It is helpful, but not necessary, to read music to participate in the choir. Our music director, Dan Burch, is a wonderful vocal coach and we provide learning tracks which you can use to practice at home. Venita Burch, our accomplished accompanist, also assists in learning parts and we have plenty of rehearsals to help us prepare.
Registration for this year’s season will begin at 6pm on Tuesday, September 12. There is a registration fee of $20 which is utilized for the purchase of new music and operating expenses of the choir. This year we are starting a new wardrobe policy and there will be some additional expense for the purchase or rental of our performance dress, but we will offer financial assistance for those who need it. Fees can be paid with cash or check.
Please come and lift your hearts with song to celebrate the Christmas season. We will look forward to welcoming you at registration on Tuesday, September 12, starting at 6pm in the band room of Pagosa Springs High School.
Rehearsal will begin at 7pm sharp.
