The Rainier Ringers Christmas concert, Joyful Angels, focuses on the Christmas story from an angel's perspective. Through the musical selection, we celebrate the message from the angels, bringing us "good news of a great joy which will come to all the people".
Our Christmas concert starts off on a joyful note with the song Joy of Christmas and ends on a high note with Angels Sing. Follow the angels in a musical journey as they share the news with Mary, to the shepherds and to all the world. The concert will also feature Joysong Victorian Carolers, a talented group of women vocalists and instrumentalists who perform in the month of December. Their songs carry hope and joy to their audience through the beauty of traditional Christmas music.
