It’s Almost Christmas! is the title of this year’s Christmas Concert from the CHB Concert Choir.
The concert will be held in St Mary’s Church in Waipukurau.
“The acoustics of the building make it a joy to sing in,” says musical director Kath Fletcher. “Choir members are enjoyingthe selection of music and I am sure the audience will also enjoy singing along to some well-known carols.”
The choir’s August concert, Love the Fifties, was a sell-out as there was only one performance. This time there will be two concerts and people are advised to buy tickets in advance.
The pipe organ will be played by Kath Fletcher, while pianists Chelsea Andrews and Di Jeromson are supporting the choir of 45 singers.
Nicky Harrison is on flute and CHB Mayor Alex Walker is playing trumpet. Brad Seymour and his son Joseph will feature in two carols and Eva Gollan, Bob Cross and Alex Walker are contributing solo pieces. St Mary’s Consort will play two short instrumental items.
There are two performances, Sunday, December 18 at 2pm and Monday, December 19 at 7pm.
