Spring 2007 — With a Song in my Heart

Leading up to the 25th anniversary celebrations, the program titled With a Song in my Heart, features some of the choir's favourites. Some songs are choral classics and some are brand new; some will make you smile and some may bring a tear to your eye. There are folk songs, classical pieces, spirituals, French selections and songs from Broadway musicals. No matter what your favourite style of choral music is, this will be an outstanding concert as choir members sing from their hearts to reach yours.

Christmas 2006 — Glorious Sounds of Christmas

Achill's 2006 Christmas concerts are entitled Glorious Sounds of Christmas and will feature K. Lee Scott's Christmas Cantata and R. Bass' Gloria. Such familiar carols as Ding Dong Merrily on High, Break Forth, and O Holy Night are only some of the joyful songs in the program.

Other highlights of the evening include an original composition by our director, A. Dale Wood, some lovely spirituals, as well as a gospel rock version of the Hallelujah Chorus. Of course, the audience also gets the opportunity to sing with not just one but two carol sing-a-longs!
