Park Forest, IL-(ENEWSPF)- The Grande Prairie Singers opens its 43rd season of bringing song to the Southland with a special “Holly Jolly Christmas” concert at 3 p.m. Saturday, December 14 in Faith United Protestant Church, 10 Hemlock, in Park Forest.
Featured in this year’s holiday songfest will be the Grande Prairie Children’s Choir directed by Oksana Rodak and Festival Bells, a 14-member handbell choir directed by Laura Barnes, a member of the Singers.
This year’s concert, conducted by Assistant Director Sue Myers, will range through the centuries, with carols dating back to the 16th century to modern-day pop hits of the season. In addition, there will be an opportunity for audience members to join with the Singers in a special sing-along.
This annual Christmas concert is the traditional start of the Signers three-concert 2019-2020 season. “Give Our Regards to Broadway,” a tribute to the musical stage will take place on Saturday, March 20, 2020, at Flossmoor Community Church. The Singers conclude the season by roaming the near and far corners of the planet in “Away We Go in Song,” on May 30, 2020, at Peace Memorial Church in Palos Park.

Tickets ordered for “Holly Jolly Christmas” will be available at the box office on the day of the concert.
