The weekend of December 6th
and 7th, Whitworth University’s Choirs gathered together to perform their
annual Christmas concert at the Seattle Presbyterian Church, downtown Seattle,
WA. The concert featured over 120 student musicians, including members of the
Whitworth Choir, the Whitworth Women’s Choir, the Whitworth Men’s Chorus and
the Whitworth Chamber Singers. Each choir sang beautiful melodies of
traditional songs in a variety of languages, and gathered together at the end
for a finale performance of the song ‘Advent Responsory’.
The entire church hummed with the incredible voices of the University's young musicians and was reciprocated enthusiastically by the audience. Many participants in the audience had been coming to the annual concert for several years, and a majority of the audience were first time visitors. Rather they were returning or new, the audience was mesmerized by the enchanting choral. The concert consisted of many Christmas celebrations,
including scripture readings, traditional carols, and was highlighted by the
conclusion ‘Advent Responsory’ which
was sang in candlelight. The choir is a Christmas tradition for many local
individuals and friends of the university, as well as Alumina and members of
the greater Seattle area.
The 'Come All Ye Faithful' christmas concert will be coming to Spokane the weekend of the 13th and 14th. The University's annual concert will be held at The Fox downtown Spokane, WA and will have performances on Saturday, Dec. 13, at 8 p.m. and on Sunday, Dec. 14, at 3 p.m. For more information please visit this website.
