The Candlelight Concert on July 27 marks the eleventh time Summertime Singers have performed as part of the Candlelight Concerts at Trinity United Methodist Church. Formed in 2011 by a group of singers who didn’t wish to take the summer off when other singing groups took a break, Conductor Colleen Johnson and her Summertime Singers have been committed to doing a variety of music ranging from classical to gospel to Americana. Colleen had moved to Indiana last year for health reasons but has returned to once again lead this year’s concert.
This year’s program is built around the calendar, with songs for each month, August to July. The group will start with Gershwin’s “Summertime” for August, then September’s “…working together, we bring in the harvest, the blessings of harvest,” to “Rain Come Down” for March (no surprise there), to the “All American Hometown Band” when we come full circle to July.
There will be an opportunity for people from the audience to join in on John Rutter’s “For the Beauty of the Earth”, our November Thanksgiving choice. It’s a familiar anthem, and those who know it are welcome to sing with us, so long as they come to the rehearsals on July 24 and 25 at 7:00 p.m. at Trinity United Methodist Church.
