Though there are still a few other holidays coming up before Christmastime is officially here, practices for a December performance will start soon. Choir call-outs for this year’s Community Christmas Cantata will be Thursday at 6 p.m. CT in the Knox United Methodist Church. Brian Liechty and Nan Folkers are working together as directors for this year’s production and will hold choir practices at the church every Thursday at 6 p.m. following the initial call-out meeting.

The cantata will be performing ‘And it Came to Pass, Emmanuel’ composed by Rose Aspinall and Jay Rouse. Folkers said she is very excited to start working with community members on the pieces for this year.

“It’s a really lovely works of different songs and music put together.” Folkers explained, “If anyone’s familiar with them they know that those arrangements are usually pretty fun and beautiful music.”

Call-outs are open to anyone at the high-school level or older. The cantata is not only limited to Starke County residents. Folkers encourages all interested individuals to come out Thursday. She also said practice CDs can be disbursed in the event that someone has a scheduling conflict that does not allow them to attend particular practices.

The final performance will at 2 p.m. and 6 p.m. on Sunday, December 10th at the Knox United Methodist Church,  201 S Shield Street. Any questions can be directed to Nan Folkers at 574-772-6248.
