High Desert Chorale starts practice

"Does the weather feel like fall?" Sisters High Desert Chorale musical director, Irene Liden, asked and, answering her own question with a big "YES!" She then threw up her arms and shouted, "So, let's begin!"

For the singers of Sisters Country, the arrival of autumn weather means it's time to think singing about Christmas, snowballs, holiday good times, and Handel's Hallelujah Chorus. The High Desert Chorale will be starting it's holiday season practice on Monday, September 14, 6:30 p.m. at Shepherd of the Hills Lutheran Church in Sisters.

Liden says the music will consist of traditional holiday arrangements of Christmas classics. If all goes as planned, the High Desert Bell Choir will be in on the festivities, as well as instrumentals from the Sisters community. In addition, if the kids who had so much fun and charmed everyone last season are willing, there will be a children's choir as well.

The venue for the holiday performance will be Sisters Community Church on Friday, December 18, at 7 p.m., and again, Sunday afternoon, December 20, at 2:30 p.m.
