A note on youth chorale participation: all levels and ages of kids who love to sing are welcome. A plan will be put together based on skills, and the youth group may be broken into a group who sings parts and an all-inclusive larger group who sings familiar carols. Not all kids may be called each week, but all should come the first week.

Winter Carols is BarnArts original event and the highlight of our Winter programming. Michael Zsoldos serves as Music Director for a program that focuses on a Winter Solstice theme for a night of music and wonder and features the BarnArts Chorale and the BarnArts Youth Chorale.
Don’t miss this festive opportunity to join with neighbors and friends and celebrate the season as a community! Winter Carols includes audience sing-alongs as well as instrumental performances by musicians from our community.
No admission is charged for this event but due to high demand, online reservations are highly recommended.
