Columbia Chorale, WVSO team up for holiday concerts Dec. 19-20

Posted

WENATCHEE – Columbia Chorale and the Wenatchee Valley Symphony Orchestra will bring singers and orchestral musicians together for “Heaven and Nature Sing,” a holiday program with performances in Wenatchee and Leavenworth.

The concert will feature familiar holiday carols and fantasia-inspired selections, combining choral voices with a full orchestral sound. Organizers describe a program that moves between tender, reflective moments and grander musical expressions, exploring seasonal themes of joy, faith, peace and glory.

The first performance will begin at 7 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 19, at the Numerica Performing Arts Center in Wenatchee. The program will be presented again at 3 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 20, at Snowy Owl Theater in Leavenworth, part of Icicle Creek Center for the Arts.

Jennifer Ferguson is the director and conductor of Wenatchee Columbia Chorale, and Ron Lodge serves as its accompanist. Anton Zotov is executive director of the Wenatchee Valley Symphony Orchestra.

The two performances give audiences an opportunity to hear the regional ensembles collaborate in two different settings during the weekend before Christmas. The program is intended for listeners of all ages, including longtime followers of choral and orchestral music and those looking for a seasonal concert to share with family or friends.

Organizers say the collaboration celebrates the role music plays in bringing people together through holiday traditions and shared experiences. The presentation pairs the expressive range of choral singing with orchestral accompaniment throughout the seasonal program.

Tickets and additional information about the performances are available at wenatcheecolumbiachorale.org/season-2026-2027.
