The Pagosa Springs Community Choir will begin rehearsals for our 2025 Christmas concerts on Tuesday, Sept. 9.
Rehearsals are held in the band room at Pagosa Springs High School weekly on Tuesdays from 7 to 8:30 p.m.
The Community Choir has been operating for more than 20 years, and the group’s Christmas concerts are beloved by the community and are a landmark of Pagosa Springs Christmas festivities.
This year’s concerts will be on Dec. 12 and 13 at 7 p.m. and on Dec. 14 at 4 p.m.
If you enjoy singing, please join us. It is helpful, but not necessary to read music to participate in the choir.
Our music director, Dan Burch, is a wonderful vocal coach and we provide learning tracks which you can use to practice at home.
Venita Burch, our accomplished accompanist, also assists us in learning our parts and we have plenty of rehearsals to help us prepare.
Rehearsals are fun and challenging, leading up to our series of three concerts, which are rewarding to present to the community.
Registration for this year’s Community Choir will begin at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 9.
There is a registration fee of $20 that is used for the purchase of new music and the operating expenses of the choir. Additionally, there are reasonable fees charged for our concert attire, which can be purchased or rented. Financial assistance is also available for registration and wardrobe if needed. Lastly, students can participate free of charge. Registration and wardrobe fees are payable with cash or check.
Our theme for the 2025 season is “We Need a Little Christmas,” and Dan Burch has chosen some wonderful music for us to sing. Look forward to singing Christmas favorites such as “Silver Bells,” “The Little Drummer Boy” and the “Hallelujah Chorus,” along with some lesser-known and new pieces such as “Even in a Manger.”
