Seasonal Harmony: Blue Ridge Singers’ Enchanting Christmas Concert Series 2023

Published

on

Melodic Celebrations Set to Usher in the Festive Spirit.

The Blue Ridge Singers are set to captivate audiences this December with their annual Christmas Concert Series, a cherished tradition that brings the joy and serenity of the holiday season to life through music. Under the skilled direction of Dr. Jeffreyf Alban, the artistic director and conductor of the Blue Ridge Singers, this series promises to be a musical highlight of the holiday season in Front Royal and surrounding areas.

The concert series kicks off on Sunday, December 3rd, at the First Baptist Church of Winchester, followed by performances at the Front Royal Presbyterian Church and Trinity Episcopal Church in Upperville. Each venue, chosen for its acoustic excellence, will provide a unique backdrop to the choir’s harmonious renditions.

Alban brings his passion and expertise to the forefront of these performances. His approach to programming considers the diverse tastes of the audience, ensuring a blend of familiar and new pieces. This year, the choir will perform a jazzy “Jingle Bells” arrangement by J. David Moore, among other selections.

The centerpiece of the concert series is “On Christmas Night” by Bob Chilcott. This eight-movement work, featuring choir, soloists, and organ, artfully weaves common Christmas carols with original music and text settings. With the choir’s soloists emerging from within its ranks, the depth and talent of the Blue Ridge Singers are sure to shine.

In addition to the scheduled performances, the audience will be invited to join in two carols, celebrating the choir’s 15th anniversary. This interactive element adds a communal and festive touch, enhancing the shared experience of holiday music.

The Blue Ridge Singers’ Christmas Concert Series is more than just a set of performances; it’s a celebration of community, music, and the spirit of the season. Free to the public, with an optional donation, these concerts offer a perfect opportunity to immerse in the holiday spirit. Whether a long-time fan or a first-time attendee, the series is a must-see this December.
