A gracious "thank you" once again to all those who participated in and helped make One Joyful Choir 2010 a fantastic event!  Now, watch One Joyful Choir's Hallelujahs for Haiti performance Saturday, December 11, at 8 p.m. on MiND TV.

One Joyful Choir featured more than 500 singers from 60 area churches, including several in and around the Doylestown area, who joined together to raise funds for Hôpital St. Croix in Léogâne, Haiti.  The medical facility sustained major damage in the January 2010 earthquake and continues to face challenges due to recent flooding and increased medical needs of the community.   

Guest conductor Dr. Pearl Shangkuan of Calvin College, Grand Rapids, MI, lead the choir in a celebration of sacred music.  Dr. John Ferguson, guest composer, was commissioned to write an anthem for the repertoire.   

One Joyful Choir is the largest choir to have performed on the Kimmel Center’s stage.  Many music directors are using parts of the repertoire with their choirs.  This program will be enjoyable for all ages and a great way to get into the holiday spirit.

For those of you who did not have the opportunity to witness the live performance, the MiND TV program is the next best thing!  Remember, you can also purchase the DVD and or CD at www.onejoyfulchoir.org or by calling the number provided during the broadcast on MiND TV.
