Winter/Christmas Concerts

 In the past few days, Dordt had its Christmas choir concert and Trinity had its Winter Program. Both of these events were livestreamed, but just in case you missed them, here are the links and a few of our favorite songs. Enjoy! :)

Jenna is the Chorale pianist and played a duo accompaniment for this beautiful rendition of "Hark the Herald Angels Sing."



The highlight of the evening for our younger children was the song "Fruitcake." :)


If you would like to watch the entire performance, you can do so at this link:

Trinity's program included the band, both choirs, and the combined choir.


Evan plays trombone in band and they did a great job with the classic, "Sleigh Ride." 



Luke in Freshman/Sophomore Choir singing "Lord, Our Lord, Thy Glorious Name."



Evan in Junior/Senior Choir singing "Anthem of Gladness"



And last but not least, the Combined Choir singing the beautiful acapella "Joyous Carol of the Bells"

Dordt University's Fall Festival of Music

 Last night was Dordt University's Fall Festival of Music, during which all of the bands and choirs performed. It was a beautiful evening of praise!

The whole concert is a little long, but if you are interested in watching Jenna's part, she is the Chorale pianist and sings or plays in the first 4 choir songs. The choral portion begins an hour and 46 minutes in. This link will take you to that part of the program: https://youtu.be/AHceoyFg6_8?t=6372
