Joyful noise: Birmingham Boys Choir to perform annual Christmas concert
The Birmingham Boys Choir will once again offer their community Christmas concert at Canterbury United Methodist Church on Tuesday, Dec. 8.
In its 38th year, the concert will once again not only feature current choir members, but their fathers and choir alumni as well.
Music Director Ken Berg said the concert, which is in its 38th year, will showcase both “traditional carols and beloved Christmas anthems,” as well as congregational singing.
“I have people every year come up an tell me that they enjoy the concert but what they really enjoy is the congregational singing,” Berg said.
This year’s concert will also feature the voices of choir dads and alumni, a tradition that happens only every other year and features up to 200 male voices.
“It’s a powerful sound,” Berg said.
The concert begins at 7:30 p.m., and there is no cost for admission to the often standing-room-only the event.
Berg said the choir receives immense support from the community, both personal and financial, and this concert is a way to give back.
“This is our gift to the community,” he said.
While the event is free, the choir encourages and welcomes donations to the choir in order to support the group’s goal to share music with Birmingham and beyond.
