A Boychoir Christmas

A Boychoir Christmas

The Boychoir of Ann Arbor, led by Music Director, Dr. John Boonenberg, proudly presents the 38th annual performances of "A Boychoir Christmas" featuring the unique and glorious sound of this outstanding local choir singing beloved classics and beautiful modern settings of choral Christmas repertoire.

The traditional processional hymn "Once in royal David's city," with soaring boy soprano solo, and the beloved “Seven Joys of Christmas” sequence of carols by Kirke Mechem are sure to get you in the Christmas spirit.

“Carol of the Stranger,” by Abbie Burt Betinis, will continue the Boychoir tradition of honoring Ann Arbor’s musical history with a Burt Family Carol.

Traditional hymns with audience participation will include "Hark! the herald angels sing", and "O come, all ye faithful.” John Gardner's setting of "Tomorrow shall be my dancing day,” which has been sung at every performance of "A Boychoir Christmas" for nearly 40 years, will once again close the performance.

The Boychoir of Ann Arbor is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization bringing together boys who like to sing and presenting beautiful choral performances for our communities.

The Boychoir of Ann Arbor is directed by Dr. John Boonenberg, in his eighth year as Music Director of this renowned non-profit community choir of boys ages 8 to 18. Award-winning organist Dr. Naki Sung Kripfgans will accompany “A Boychoir Christmas.”
