Happy New Year !

Wishes of happiness, health and continued faith in this new year.

Our 2013 season is going to be the best ever and we are excited to sing many old favorites. We are anticipating our Alpine concert tour by performing classical masterpieces as well as spirituals and contemporary classics . Come to one of our Spring Concerts and experience a bit of the tour.

Neuschwanstein Castle

Rehearsals begin on January 8th at 7:30 PM at Smyrna First Baptist Church ( Directions ). Returning members bring all music for this season you already own and pick up new on Tuesday. Come early so as to not interfere in rehearsal time.

If you would like to audition, come early on Jan. 8th rehearsal, print and fill out an audition form (or get one at rehearsal), and preview a rehearsal. We think you’ll find yourself welcomed and ready to audition.

Fall is in the Air

The members of The Georgia Festival are rehearsing some fabulous music. One of my favorites is Gesu Bambino by Yon. Musical selections feature several composers, Bradford and Rutter. These composers present fresh and interesting interpretations of old favorites. I’m sure you will agree when you hear them.

Things to think about this summer

admin — Sun, 10 Jun 2012 22:08:37 +0000

Summer is a time to take care of yourself. -Travel, visit friends, exercise, go to concerts, read a classic novel, write a letter, right a wrong, smile at strangers, try a new recipe, plant a seed, and just take time to relax and rejuvenate.

The Georgia Festival Chorus invites you to consider joining us this fall. If you are interested, go to the Contact Us tab for more information. You will be spiritually ministered.

Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is hardly a waste of time. ~John Lubbock

Ah, Spring.

admin — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 01:57:55 +0000

The Georgia Festival Chorus continues rehearsing for the Spring concerts with joy and hard work. There are many new pieces, such as I Am (Hilliard and Michael W. Smith) and some old favorites like O Bone Jesu (Palestrina). To feed the heart and soul (my favs) are a few spirituals: Set Down Servant (Shaw) and Give Me Jesus (Fleming).

A special concert celebrating our director, Maestro Frank Boggs’ 85th birthday is coming on April 15th at Johnson Ferry Baptist Church. Come join in honoring a man whose music inspired, consoled and delighted listeners for many years.

Come join us in one or more of our concerts listed on the Concerts tab. Include a concert in your Must-Do’s list.

We have had a wonderful fall season. Candles By Candlelight was invigorating, lifting, reflective and just plain fun. The venues were superb, the audiences were warm and praising, and the music touched everyone involved. Halleluiah.
