The end of a Christmas concert era approaches |
October 12, 2017 |

The Bonners Ferry Community Choir will begin
rehearsals for this year's Christmas concert
next week, and all singers, high school age
through senior citizens, are welcome. No
auditions are required, but it's going to be a
special year for singers, though tinged with
sadness as two women who've been the choir's
heart and soul for 40 years both step down.
Rehearsals start at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, October
17, at Trinity Lutheran Church, 6784 Cody
Street, Bonners Ferry, and continue each Tuesday
evening until the concerts on December 15 and
17.
Singers ages 10-15 are also welcome but should
be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
This will be the 40th annual Christmas concert
conducted either by current conductor Vicki
Blake Thompson (pictured above) or current accompanist Barb
Nelson, and it will be their final Christmas
concert together as well as a celebration of
those 40 years, featuring some of their favorite
works from the previous years.
The Bonners Ferry Community Choir is seeking a
conductor and accompanist for the 2018 and
subsequent Christmas performances. Both Barb and
Vicki are willing to work with potential
conductors/accompanists to facilitate the
transition.
Anyone interested can contact Vicki at
