Mark your calendars! Wednesday, Nov. 30 through Saturday, Dec. 3, the PebbleCreek Singers present their annual holiday concert, ‘Ring Those Christmas Bells.’ All performances are at 7 p.m. in the Renaissance Theater.
PC Singers has all the right ingredients for a delightful holiday program. Take a dash of sacred music, a pinch of traditional carols, and a smidgeon of classical numbers. Add various tempos and rhythms. Mix in a few surprises! Finally, blend in 70 full-chorus voices mixed with a sprinkle of small ensembles and soloists, and Voila!—you have the PC Singers’ 2022 holiday concert! The concert opener, Ring Those Christmas Bells is a lively, high-spirited number that sets the tone for an evening of holiday cheer. The sopranos and altos team up to provide some fun and laughter with their rendition of Christmas Shopping Blues, a jazzy little number that sets the mood for all the craziness of the gift-giving season. The tempo changes as the tenors, baritones, and basses take center stage performing Stars I Shall Find, a musical arrangement of Sara Teasdale’s poem that speaks of peace and hope. The Hallelujah Chorus, Handel’s powerful and majestic masterpiece, will resound throughout the theater as the concert comes to a close.
