Wish for some harmony in your life? It might be time to join the Sisters High Desert Chorale and make some joyful noise. The Chorale is set to begin rehearsals next month for music to bring in the Christmas season.

The Chorale is a community-based group of singers who gather to practice then present concerts in December celebrating the holiday season. Singers of all ages and abilities are welcome to the group. These free concerts resume a Sisters tradition that signals the start of the holiday season for many local residents.

The Chorale has been a longtime hallmark of chorale excellence in a town that embraces art in all its forms. Under the direction of Connie Gunterman and with accompanist Donna Moyer, the Chorale offers music that celebrates the Christmas season and brings good cheer to all who attend. This year will be especially welcome to our community after quarantines created a “silent night” last year.

Weekly Monday-night practices start September 20 at Sisters Community Church, 1300 McKenzie Hwy., 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Members of the Chorale ask that prospective singers be vaccinated against COVID-19.

Concerts will be held at Sisters Community Church on December 3 and December 5.
