Nativity and Noel Concert Series featuring The Ozark Mormon Chorale
The Nativity and Noel Concert Series is an annual event that takes place the second weekend in December. This year that's Friday, December 10th; Saturday, December 11th; and Sunday, December 12th. On Friday and Saturday from 5-7pm the Cultural Hall is filled with nativity displays from around the world, as well as a live nativity scene. The Spirit is incredibly strong and the room is impressive. From about 7-8:30pm the Chapel acts as a concert hall, featuring local school, community, and church choirs and ensembles, as well as, of course, the Ozark Mormon Chorale. Refreshments are served after the concert and the nativity is opened again briefly. On Sunday from 7-8pm the Chorale performs its traditional musical fireside.
Rehearsals run from Sunday, October 17th through Sunday, December 5th from 5:30-7pm at the Stake Center and childcare is provided for those who need it. Because we sing so many songs (12 between the concerts) and some challenging music, as well as to encourage unity and commitment, no more than 2 rehearsals may be missed... and even that is discouraged, if possible. We ask for a deposit of $5 for the music and binder, due by Sunday, October 24th. If you'd like to keep the music at the end, just turn in your empty binder; if you wouldn't like to keep your music, turn it and the binder in at the end of the season in exchange for your $5 deposit. Singers sophomore age and up are invited to participate.
Being a part of the Nativity and Noel and Ozark Mormon Chorale is a wonderful way to feel the Spirit, meet new friends in the stake, and do something fun and festive during the holidays. It's a great thing to invite friends, family, and associates to come to, as well. Above all, though, it's a wonderful way to share the love for and knowledge of our Savior, Jesus Christ with our community.
We hope to see you beginning tonight!
