The Ernest Bloch Bell Ringers, under the direction by Jeanne Jackson, will present their annual Holiday Concert for the Coast on December 14 at 3 p.m.
This year’s concert will feature a collaboration with the singers of CoastSing, directed by Sue Bohlin. The program will open with the Bell Ringers performing pieces such as “Christmas Joy and Adoration,” “Lo, How a Rose E’er Blooming,” and “Go Tell It on the Mountain.”
Vocalists Sita Milchev and Bryn Harris will contribute with renditions of “White Christmas” and “All I Want For Christmas is You,” respectively. Audience participation is encouraged during “Winter Wonderland” and “Angels We Have Heard on High.”
The CoastSing will take the stage in the second half with songs including “Oceans (Where Feet May Fail)” and “California Dreamin’,” followed by a joint performance with the Bell Ringers on “Calypso Christmas”, and “Breath of Heaven.”
The concert will conclude with the audience singing “Silent Night,” with the CoastSing singing a descant. Refreshments will be available, and while Santa hats are optional, festive spirit is expected.
Advance tickets are $25, with a $5 increase on the day of the event, and can be purchased at Gualala Arts, the Dolphin Gallery, or online. Children accompanied by an adult ticket holder may attend for free.
