2005 Season


Come to our Christmas Concerts!!!

Join the many that have made the Meistersingers Christmas concert their Holiday tradition. This year we are joined by Andrea Thiele on harp as we sing some of the most beautiful music written for the season. Traditional songs like We Three Kings, Deck the Halls, Still Still Still, and What Child Is This are sung along side many gorgeous lesser known masterpieces that will inspire and awe! Stephen Paulus' Jesu Carols, John Rutter's Dancing Day and Moses Hogan's arrangement of the spiritual Go Tell It on the Mountain are just a few of these gems. Come hear voice and string raise their song. Bring the entire family for our famous sing-a-long carols too!

As always, our concerts are FREE!!!
