The Pagosa Springs Community Choir will begin rehearsals for our 2026 Christmas concerts on Sept. 15.
Rehearsals are held in the music 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 three concerts will be on Dec. 11 and Dec. 12 at 7 p.m., and on Dec. 13 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 Sept. 15.
There is a registration fee of $20, which 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 is available for purchase from the choir. We anticipate this year’s fees for concert attire to be under $50 for both men and women. If financial assistance is needed for registration and concert attire fees, the organization will assist.
Lastly, Archuleta School District students can participate free of charge. Registration and wardrobe fees are payable with cash or check.
Our theme for the 2026 season is “Gloria,” and Dan Burch has chosen some wonderful music for us to sing.
Look forward to singing Christmas favorites such as “Go, Tell It on the Mountain,” “Winter Wonderland” and “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing” along with some lesser-known Christmas pieces such as “Candlelight Carol” and “Fum, Fum Fantasia.”
