December 11, 2014 |
Once again, the long standing Bonners Ferry
tradition lives on. Over 80 local singers,
children and adults, join together to present
"All on a Starry Night," this year's annual
Bonners Ferry Community Choir Christmas Concert.
Performances are Friday December 19 at 7:30 p.m.
and Sunday December 21 at 3 p.m. at Trinity
Lutheran Church, just off Highway 95 on Cody
Street in Bonners Ferry. Requested donation is
$10 for adults, $6 for students, or $29 for an
immediate family.
This is at least the 38th annual concert for the
Bonners Ferry Community Choir. Conductor,
Vicki Blake Thompson will conduct her 19th
annual concert this year. She was preceded by
Barb Nelson, who conducted for 18 years, and now
is the choir's accompanist. Barb Nelson was
preceded by conductor Earl Erickson.
Swingin' on a Star: the Bonners Ferry children's
choir, will also perform in the concert,
conducted this year by Chloe Cavender. Swingin'
on a Star was founded in 1997 by Vicki Blake
Thompson, who conducted the group up until this
fall.
"All on a Starry Night," the theme of this
year's concerts, features a variety of carols,
familiar and new. It is a retelling of the
Christmas story from a simple mountain folk
perspective. Carols include: Deck the Halls, Do
You Hear What I Hear, Bring a Torch Jeanette
Isabella, Behold that Star, Sing We Now of
Christmas, and
several others. The audience is invited to join
in on "The First Noel" and "Silent Night." The
choir loves the opportunity to bring in the
Season with friends and neighbors. A reception
follows the performance with cookies and
Christmas cheer for all. |
