Vineyard Voice to perform Christmas concerts on Dec. 4-5
The popular Vineyard Voice chamber vocal ensemble will present its annual Christmas concert — Light of the World — at Immanuel Baptist Church on Dec. 4. A second show is set for Dec. 5 at LifeWay Fellowship in Killeen.
The Temple show begins at 6 p.m. and the Killeen show at 7:30.
The 30-member Vineyard Voice, a downsized version of Central Texas Master Singers, performs throughout the year, primarily at local churches.
“We employ our orchestra for Christmas concerts and occasionally for spring shows,” said Steven Kirkpatrick, founder and conductor of the choir. “The orchestra is made of professional musicians who also play in area symphonies, band and orchestra directors, and a few advanced and award-winning high school and college students.”
The ensemble formed in 2009 as Central Texas Master Singers and has delivered more than 225 performances — about 10 a year — at churches around Bell, Coryell and Williamson counties.
“We created Central Texas Master Singers with a passion of bringing God-honoring music to the masses,” Kirkpatrick said. “That vision hasn’t changed. We are just a smaller group now.”
“Although the name has changed and the number of singers is fewer, our goal remains the same – to enrich lives through choral music.”
Tickets for the Temple performance are $20 in advance and $30 at the door. Advance registration can be made at www.goctms.com or www.vineyardvoice.com , by calling (254) 258-6844 or through any Vineyard Voice singer.
