10th Annual Advent Concert Series for 2019
Song of the Pines Chorus
Everyone is cordially invited to attend the 10th Annual Advent Concert Series at St. John’s with four different concerts! The series starts off with the Song of the Pines Chorus. Song of the Pines Chorus is a member of Sweet Adelines International, a non-profit, worldwide organization of female singers who meet regularly to rehearse, perform, socialize and have fun. Most of their members come from the Prescott Quad-City area, but they also have members who drive from Phoenix and other adjacent cities. Song of the Pines is a performing and competing chorus that has been an active part of the Prescott music scene for many years.

Springfed Provides Bluegrass and Folk Music for the Second Advent Concert
Springfed musicians Billy Burke and Tony Norris
Springfed serves up a gratifying spread of tunes from Appalachian ballads to cowboy songs to original compositions from their hundred years of combined musical experience. Bill Burke is a master of the five string banjo and an artful mandolin player as well. Tony Norris’ rich tenor voice is complemented by his sensitive guitar work and he’s prone to telling a good story. They are joined by Elena Gonzalez, a classically trained violinist who is bravely exploring the Dark Side of fiddling. Look for songs of faithful dogs and faithless women and bone rattling dance tunes when they take the stage at the second of St. John’s Advent Concert Series.
