with Special Guests Voctave

 

AFCO is thrilled to bring you this 11-member a cappella group from Florida, renowned for their incredibly intricate harmonies and extremely wide vocal range of 5 full octaves!   Audiences will love Voctave's stirring renditions of ‘Carol of the Bells of Notre Dame,’ ‘O Come all ye Faithful,’ and ‘My Wish/Let There Be Peace on Earth,’ along with many others.  Jamey Ray’s musical arrangements, paired with the group’s stellar musicianship, have earned them multiple #1 songs and albums on iTunes, Amazon and Spotify, and the group has ranked in the top 25 on Billboard Magazine’s charts.

Crowd-pleasers Dr. Kevin Olson and Dr. Cahill Smith will once again delight the audience with a festive piano duet that is sure to knock some Christmas spirit into the holiday season!  And of course it's not Christmas without hearing beautiful renditions of favorites such as ‘White Christmas’, ‘O Holy Night,’ and the beloved ‘Silent Night.’

 

*AFC members are wearing masks at our concerts to help protect each other.  Would you please join us by doing the same?  Thank you.  We look forward to seeing you at our Christmas concerts.*

 

 

A short tribute shared as part of our recent Veterans Day Memorial performance.

This intensely moving concert features a pairing of 20th century masterworks.  Maurice Duruflé’s Requiem, characterized by music both emotional and comforting, is one of the most-beloved choral compositions of the 20th century.  Special Guest Organist Bradley Hunter Welch will bring the Campbell-Holtkamp Organ to life in Joseph Jongen’s exquisite Symphonie Concertante for Organ.

This lively evening of choral music will showcase the many outstanding young singers in our region, as the American Festival Chorus is joined by choirs from Cache Valley’s high schools.  Your spirits will lift as you listen to hundreds of melodious voices joined in song.  Please join us in supporting our next generation of musical talent! 

All ages welcome!  No ticket required.

In Quiet Resting Places by Daniel Gawthrop

To a Village Called Emmaus by Ethan Wickman

As a fitting end to our season, AFCO brings you two stories of hope, comfort, and peace.  Daniel Gawthrop’s “In Quiet Resting Places” takes its inspiration from the book of Genesis and embraces the preservation of nature's beauties.  This melodic, lyrical choral work is built around a spiritual view of the environment.  After its stunning debut in 2018, Ethan Wickman and Glen Nelson’s oratorio, “To a Village Called Emmaus” returns to Logan.  Commissioned by AFCO, the work tells the compelling story of events in the week after Christ’s resurrection.

Tickets are now available!  All ticket options may be seen through the USU ticket office.
