Community Christmas Concert holding rehearsals; still looking for singers

The second rehearsal for the Caribou County Community Choir and Orchestra’s Christmas concert is now in the books, and Kathleen Campbell reports that everything is going well.  The theme for this year’s December 8 concert is “Traditions of Christmas” which suggests the feelings of comfort long associated with the season.

While the orchestra personnel is in place, the CCCC & O is looking for more singers. Executive Choral Director Kimberly Mumford related that the group is looking for additional singers (over the age of 16) to join the choir.  In addition, another piano accompanist is also being sought.  

Those interested in joining the choir can either attend a rehearsal at one of the dates and times listed below (the sooner the better!), or contact Kathleen Campbell at [email protected] or Kim Mumford at [email protected].  

Christmas is a singular time of year when music, friends, and community all come together to provide the special warmth that is hard to find in any other setting.  A community choir is a special thing, as is a community orchestra.  Both allow those with music in the hearts to share their gifts with everyone.  If you have thought you’d like to sing alongside your neighbors but never taken that brave step, make this year your year!

The Caribou County Community Choir and Orchestra (CCCC & O) officers of the board are: Chairman and Treasurer Wade Olorenshaw; Vice Chairman, Vince Burgoyne;

Executive Administrator, Kathleen Campbell; Executive Orchestral Director, Anne Olorenshaw; Executive Choral Director, Kim Mumford; Orchestra Librarian, Di Mickelsen, Choral Librarian, Ann Robinett Averett; and Properties Manager, Garrett Hill.
