Blyth Festival Singers open 35th season with 'Believe'
Remember the childhood magic
of a dark snowy winter's night, the
mystery of the beautiful manger
scene outside the church door, the
sound of horse bells on a wagon in
the Santa Claus parade. Remember
the glister of moonlight on the hang-
ing icicles or the hopeful feeling
inspired by twinkling Xmas lights on
a winter's walk?
Be sure to join the Blyth Festival
Singers and soloists on Dec. 6 for
music that will celebrate that magical
season of winter and invoke the holy
season of Christmas.
`Believe" is a concert that will
awaken those simple half -remem-
bered feelings with beautiful pieces
like The Darkest Midnight in Decem-
ber, Winter's Peace, Breath of Heaven
and the signature song, Believe.
Expect to be taken a little by sur-
prise as the Blyth Festival Singers
explore new versions of old favour-
ites with variations on Deck the Hall,
Jingle Bells, an African Carol, and the
Huron Carol as you have never heard
them before!
And what can make Christmas
even more magical, than children?
The Singers' special guest is Huron
County's own Glister Children's Choir
under the direction of Suzanne
MacVicar and accompanied by Bailey
Porter.
The Glister Choir is a newly
formed group of 30 energetic, musi-
cal children who love to sing and
perform. Ranging in age from six to
15, they hail from all over Huron
County.
Director Suzanne has enjoyed
many years of teaching privately and
last February she, along with hus-
band, Wes, and their two daughters
Livia and Halli, were able to make
their dream
of a children's choir a reality. Their
hope, as a choir, is to bring joy and
light to each audience member and
chorister alike through the power of
music and song.
The Blyth Festival Singers is a
county -wide community choir
under the auspices of the Blyth Cen-
tre for the Arts. The Singers are under
the professional direction of Sharon
Poelstra and accompanied by Lori
Millian.
The choir of 50 members performs
primarily in Huron County and has
endeavored to present a high stand-
ard of choral singing since its incep-
tion in 1980.
The Blyth Festival Singers are very
excited to bring this beautiful concert
to you as an opening to their 35th
season in the Blyth Festival Theatre
