Community Chorus of Redlands (70 singers) and Ensemble XXI (30 singers) are the core ensembles under the direction of Jeffrey H. Rickard. Singers from the surrounding communities have been invited to join in on the event. Choral music has been selected for each choir to sing individually, several pieces for all of the choral forces to sing together, as well as four well-known hymns for the choir and audience. The sizable Casavant organ will be in full splendor and will accompany us on several pieces. A free-will offering will be received in support of the victims of Dec. 2.
