It has been such a boon to all of us to be able to get back to singing together again, and the return of the Choral Rhapsody performance marks a wonderful milestone in getting some normalcy back into our lives,” said Ryan Noakes, Cantabile Singers of Kamloops’ Music Director. “Choral Rhapsody has always been a fantastic event for everyone in Kamloops singing in a choir. It’s a perfect opportunity for us to share the music we’ve been working on with each other, as well as the community at large.”<br />Seven local choirs and one out-of-town choir will be presenting a delightful selection of Christmas carols with singalongs between sets for audience participation. The choirs in attendance will be:<br />Ashcroft Sage Sound Singers<br />Cantabile Singers<br />Desert Sounds A Cappella +<br />Jeweltones<br />Kamloops Choristers<br />Kamloops Men’s Chorus<br />Kamloops Pride Choir<br />Valley Harmony<br />In addition to the choirs, handbell choir Bells of Note will welcome the audience with a selection of music in the lobby prior to start of the concert.<br />For more information about the event, please call 250-828-3611.
