A Vanilla Soul Christmas!

The Sun Valley Hallelujah Chorus will celebrate the holidays with a rousing free Christmas concert for all!  ‘A Vanilla Soul Christmas’ features everything from traditional Christmas carols done in a jazz motif to African music and dance, a gospel version of the Hallelujah chorus as well as Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" and much more accompanied by the Cliff Cunha Soul Band. The Footlight Dancers will perform along with many  featured soloists including John Mauldin, Entertainment Director for the Sun Valley Company, who has appeared in “Forever Plaid”.

            The Hallelujah Chorus received rave reviews for their Christmas Concert last year. This year they will perform mostly new songs with a few of the best loved classics from last year.

            The chorus was created by talented local musician/conductor Patti Parsons Tewson who has loved the special exciting and moving quality to gospel music since her childhood in the South. After performing with Harlem’s famed conductor Bobby Lewis in a 100 person gospel choir in of all places Fairbanks Alaska,  she decided to bring what she learned back home and gathered a group of local singers to make her dream of a first time ever gospel chorus in Ketchum.

            Since the performances are free, there will be a 5:30 pm Patron Party both evenings for $10 to fund the concert. Those who attend will receive good early seating, wine and hors-d’oeuvres and a chance to party with the performers.

The concert will take place at 7pm on Dec 19 & 20 at The NexStage Theater.
