December's snow and ice did funny things to Tacoma's arts scene. Museums closed, crowds got thinner, and (ironically) Tacoma Art Museum's "Snowbound" festival saw way more real snow outside than fake stuff inside. Even just last night I was one of just three people braving more snow for an artist talk at Fulcrum. (Even the artist came late.)
One of the snow cancellations was the Christmas concert for the Northwest Repertory Singers. But if you still have a yen to hear carols, handbells and the like, fret not--the choir is rescheduling the concert this Saturday at 3 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.
On the program: Christmas carol classics featuring Gig Harbor's five-octave handbell choir the Chapel Ringers, a solo cello, brass quartet, and four-hand piano (that is, two people playing the same piano.)
If you had a ticket for the December concert, you can:
- use it for admission to this Saturday's one
- use it for admission to the NWRS' March jazz concert or May Northwest concert
- get a refund
- consider it a festive donation to this worthy choir!
“The Bells of Christmas,” under the direction of Dr. Paul W. Schultz, will be performed at Mason United Methodist Church, 2710 N. Madison St., Tacoma. $18 general/$15 seniors and students/under-12 free. Reservation/information: 253-572-4381, www.nwrs.org.
