Barbara Kopra, the musical director for the choir since 2005, came up with this year’s theme after she asked the members of the choir to provide a list of their favorite holiday songs to sing.
“From there I found the musical arrangements that would benefit both the choir and the orchestra. I love featuring choir pieces with orchestral accompaniment for Christmastime,” Kopra said.

From first-time performers to well seasoned vocalists, the Waimea Community Chorus will perform selections both classical and popular. From The First Noel with Pachelbel’s Canon, to sing-a-long medleys and highlighted holiday pop songs throughout the decades.
Kopra said she is “always trying to find different arrangements in different styles. That way there’s a little something for everyone.”
Tickets are $15, $20 and $25, and can be purchased online at Kahilutheatre.org, by calling (808) 885-6868 or in person at the Kahilu Theatre Box Office at 67-1186 Lindsey Road in Kamuela.
