Press release
Bring the whole family out for ChoralSounds Northwest's (CSN) annual Christmas concert at the Highline Performing Arts Center in Burien on Dec. 10 and 11.

The new artistic director, Brian J. Winnie brings a renewed focus on polished choral performance and for his first concert with CSN he has created a show that tells the story of the Nativity through a modern allegory that is both creative and beautiful.

Centered around the story of a couple’s journey from their first date through the birth of their child, “Angels Watching” combines vignettes, videography and contemporary dance to weave this story that is at once secular and sacred.

In the second act, the chorus will let down their hair to celebrate the season with familiar and fun Christmas favorites including “Jingle Bells” and “Silent Night,” as well as a crazy, fun-filled “Twelve Pains of Christmas.”

Families hunting for affordable entertainment will delight and parents looking for a risk-free way to introduce their children to the joys of choral music can rest easy because Northwest Associated Arts youth ticket program lets young people 17 and under in free with a paid adult ticket.

The Saturday show begins at 7:30 p.m. and the Sunday matinee starts at 2 p.m. Tickets are available at www.nwassociatedarts.org or 206-246-6040. The performing arts center is located at 401 S. 152nd St.

ChoralSounds Northwest, a Burien-based chorus of 50 men and women, has developed a loyal and growing following with family-friendly shows that offer much more than the usual “choral concert.”

Audiences marvel at the colorful costumes, creative staging, and exuberant choreography. ChoralSounds is a part of Northwest Associated Arts, which includes KidSounds Northwest, YouthSounds Northwest, TeenSounds Northwest and the new SilverSounds Northwest.
