The Hutchinson Christmas Symphony Concert

The other day while driving down our tiny Main Street in our tiny town... I noticed that the Fox Theater was presenting it's "Christmas Symphony Concert" on Dec. 15th... immediately checking my calendar, I see that Joe and I have that night open without any other obligations... so once I got home, I called up and ordered our tickets to attend.  WOW WOW WOWZERS is all I have to say about last nights program!!!  It was AWESOME and I'm soooo glad I noticed the advertisement and bought the tickets.

Last year I went to this event with a bunch of new lady friends I had met in the few weeks since we had moved here.  And last years program was soooo good I knew I wanted to make this an annual habit.  I also remember last year while I was watching the program just how much Joe too would enjoy it.

There were 3 local folks who performed singing solos and a duet last night... and OH MY GOODNESS!!!  Who knew this tiny town had soooo much talent in it.  The songs sung at last nights program were all the old traditional and spiritual songs that literally made the hair on your arms stand on end because they were so beautifully sung!

If you really want to witness the "Spirit of Christmas", the best place to do so is at concerts and programs put on by your local town... whether it is a school performance or a professional performance, both will leave you in the Christmas Spirit, a smile on your face, and a jingle in your step!  Joe and I talked about our wonderful experience all the way home... and sung snippets of the songs we had just heard... although... our singing was no where near what we had just heard... but all the same... tis the season for lots of singing!!!!

Among my favorites sung last night were... "Ave Maria", "Breath of Heaven", "Mary, Did You Know" (accompanied with a sign linguist),  and "Cantique de Noel"(which was sung in Italian).  The Hutchinson Symphony Orchestra played all the music for the program, and they too did a marvelous job!  The music, the singing, the atmosphere... all of it made for a very magical night.

I am sure that next year, if it is at all possible, Joe and I again will be amongst those in the audience who want to capture and enjoy a moment of true Christmas "In The Air" Spirit.  Going to the Christmas Concert has quickly become one of my new favorite Holiday traditions!
