Guest artists for the concert will be Maricopa Music Circle. Tickets are available at the door for $10.

This concert is part of a series of holiday performances in Maricopa, including Merry Copa, DSPA Sugar Plum Tea and Maricopa Music Circle holiday concert. The Chorus has provided caroling at Merry Copa in recent years. Chorus members will be dressed in traditional caroling costumes for the opening of the Dec. 9 concert, when they will sing traditional carols.

The concert will also include contemporary songs and jazz versions of carols. Chorus director John Janzen chose the venue at Global Water because of its excellent acoustics.
