West Towns Chorus to Present Its 2023 Special Annual Christmas Show

For those wondering what “A Very West Towns Christmas” entails– since that is the title of this year’s West Towns Chorus Christmas Show - let it be known that many of the signature ele- ments of this Barbershop Chorus’s highly popular past Christmas shows will be present.

These elements include about 35 wonderful male voices singing holiday tunes in four part harmony, featuring holiday favorites in Act I such as “The Christmas Song” (Chestnuts Roasting), and “O Christmas Tree,” among others. Act II songs range from “Joy to the World” and the beautiful “Mary, Did You Know,” to the powerful closing number, “Adeste Fideles.”

Directing the chorus, which rehearses in Downers Grove, will be Carrie Marcotte of Bolingbrook, who recently led the group to its 2nd place win in the state Barbershop Chorus competition in Bloomington, Il. Aiding her will be Assistant Directors Joe Tomecek and Mark Betczynski.

Guest groups joining the program include the Chicago Bronze Handbells, Affinity Strings, and a small group from the Village Vocal Chords.

In addition to the variety and quality of the music, there will be moments of humor and some intermission fun involving attendees buying raffle tickets for a variety of gift baskets.

“A Very West Towns Christmas” will be presented in two shows, Sat., Dec. 9, and Sun., Dec. 10, both at 2:30 p.m. Performances will take place in the Huizenga Auditorium at Timothy Christian Schools, 188 West Butterfield Rd., Elmhurst, IL.

Tickets are $30 for preferred front and center seating and $25 for general admission. Groups of ten or more get a $2 per ticket discount, making tickets only $28 Preferred/$23 General.
