The sound of Christmas carols permeated throughout St. Paul’s United Church on Sunday night for the Rotary Club of Estevan’s 63rd annual Christmas Carol Festival.
Local individuals, duets and groups performed well-known, obscure and even original Christmas music. The show opened with the Southeast Chorus Association and the Northwest Chorus and Orchestra Association teaming up to perform selections from their recent Celebration of Christmas Music.
Several male members of the Southeast Chorus then performed as a group.
Spruce Ridge School’s choir played some songs from their Christmas musical, and local resident Kris Durant sang a couple of Christmas songs.
Audience members had their chance to join in the singing during a four-song community singing session.
The Estevan Comprehensive School’s Wired choral group then performed several songs, and flutist Sandra Bazin and pianist Danielle Evenson played a couple of selections.
The Trinity Lutheran Church and St. Paul’s United Church Choir sang, and then they were joined by the Rotary Club of Estevan for the annual rendition of We Wish You a Merry Christmas.
Proceeds from the festival will be directed towards local school band programs.
