Christmas Concert at Library - 2009

The evening of December 3rd was very busy for the Civic Chorus. We started with our

Christmas Concert at the Uinta County Library at 5:30. This was our first time singing there. And it was my first time playing on a white piano. I played a little prelude music before the concert so I could get used to the keyboard. I played my favorites and even got a couple of requests from the gathering audience. This was our program:

• Do You Hear What I Hear?
• Kyrie
• An Irving Berlin Christmas
• Born on a New Day
• The Most Wonderful Time of the Year
• Joy to the World

The first two songs were favorites with the Chorus, as well as "Born on a New Day." Many in the audience particularly enjoyed "Joy to the World." Really, though, the whole concert was fun because we were singing Christmas music. And on top of that, it was fun to be loud in the library without anyone telling us to be quiet. View More Photos

After the concert, we rushed out to mingle with the crowd and sing carols at the Downtown Merchants Open House and Parade of Lights. We are becoming a familiar group at this annual event. I particularly liked singing inside of different businesses where we could look at our music and sing parts instead of singing in the dark outside and winging it.

Next we had a dress rehearsal with the Evanston Civic Orchestra and combined choir to put together "Joy to the World." It was super fun singing with the orchestra and this will definitely be a highlight of the Community Christmas Gala on the 10th. View More Photos
