Christmas with The Colorado Choir
Join us for a night of purely a cappella Christmas music. Featured works include traditional carols along with classical and contemporary pieces, culminating in a soaring gospel song performed in six-part harmony.
The term “a cappella” refers to vocal music performed with no instrumental accompaniment. As Conductor and Artistic Director Kelly Parmenter puts it, “The purity of the human voice raised in song offers our audiences a deeply textured and highly emotive musical experience.”
I took my wife and sister-in-law to this concert. It was truly awesome. They sang how I imagine angels sing in Heaven.
Why is music so important to us at this time of year? Christmas songs evoke memories of years gone by and fuel our excitement for the season. When the nights are long and the days are short, carol singing with your family and friends isn’t just a way to pass the time, it’s a moment to let music fill our souls, improve our moods, and bring some light and levity into our lives.
As Buddy said in the movie Elf, “The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear!”

A Mosaic of Music
This concert is a composite of sounds and songs that come together to create a single concert. Think of it as a kaleidoscope of music representing the last several seasons of the choir. The songs are regrouped and programmed differently so that the audience may experience a new context, a new theme, and perhaps gain new meaning from these significant songs. We certainly hope to inspire, to provoke thought, and to bring forth a feeling of joy.
