Christmas Concert
Our Christmas concert will be held on Sunday, December 4 at 3:00pm at First Baptist Church in Fairhope and on Monday, December 5 at 7:00pm at Spanish Fort United Methodist Church.
This concert will feature the Alabama premiere of Illuminare by Elaine Hagenberg. Illuminare is Elaine’s first extended work, consisting of five movements for SATB chorus and chamber orchestra. Using lesser-known sacred Latin, Greek, and English texts, the piece takes us through a season of beauty and goodness that has been disrupted by darkness and confusion. But as Light gradually returns, hope is restored, illuminating our future and guiding us in peace.
Our concert will include arrangements of favorite Christmas songs, a quirky, fun piece entitled, We Come A-Darkly Caroling, and will end with an audience carol sing-along. There is something for everyone on this concert!
Tickets
Tickets can be purchased online through this website, from any choral singer, or at the door the day of the concert. There is plenty of room at both venues so no worries about not being able to get a seat! We hope to see you this Christmastide!
