Community Choir Rehearsals Begin Next Tuesday for Annual Christmas Concerts

The Community Choir in Pagosa Springs will begin rehearsals for our Christmas concerts on Tuesday, September 10.  Rehearsals are held in the band room at Pagosa Springs High School weekly on Tuesdays from 7 to 8:30pm.

The Community Choir has been operating for more than 20 years, and the group’s Christmas concerts are beloved by the community and are a landmark of Pagosa Springs Christmas festivities.

This year’s concerts will be held on December 13 and 14 at 7pm and on December 15 at 4pm.

Our theme for the 2024 season is “Joy to the World,” and music director, Dan Burch, has chosen some wonderful music for us to sing.

Look forward to singing Christmas favorites such as “Angels We Have Heard on High” and “Joy to the World” along with some lesser-known and new pieces such as “His Light in Us.” Please come and lift your hearts with song to celebrate the Christmas season.

If you enjoy singing, please join us. It is helpful, but not necessary, to read music to participate in the choir.  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.  Rehearsals are fun and challenging leading up to our series of three concerts, which are very rewarding to present to the community.

Registration for this year’s season will begin at 6pm on Tuesday, September 10.  There is a registration fee of $20 which is utilized for the purchase of new music and operating expenses of the choir. There is some additional expense for wardrobe requirements for our concerts and you have the option to purchase or rent our concert attire. Financial assistance is available for wardrobe if needed. Lastly, students can participate free of charge.

Registration and wardrobe fees can be paid with cash or check during registration.

We will look forward to welcoming you at registration on Tuesday, September 10, starting at 6pm in the band room of Pagosa Springs High School. Rehearsal will begin at 7 p.m. sharp.
