A Boychoir Christmas 2025 (Saturday)

The Boychoir of Ann Arbor, led by Music Director, Dr. John Boonenberg, proudly presents the 39th annual "A Boychoir Christmas" featuring the unique and glorious sound of this outstanding choir singing beloved classics and modern settings of beautiful choral Christmas repertoire. Award-winning organist Dr. Naki Sung-Kripfgans will accompany “A Boychoir Christmas.”

The traditional processional hymn "Once in royal David's city," with soaring boy soprano solo, and the perennial favorites “In dulci jubilo,” “In the bleak midwinter,” and “Somerset Wassail” are sure to get you in the Christmas spirit.

“Peace with Me Now,” by Abbie Burt Betinis, will continue the Boychoir tradition of honoring Ann Arbor’s musical history with a Burt Family Carol.

Other selections include two new exciting and  infectious carols—“Come and Dance” by Toby Young and “Magnificat” by Steve Parsons. Carolyn Jenning’s beloved “Climb to the top of the Highest Mountain” will also feature, along with a rousing interpretation of “Masters in this Hall” by the Young Men’s Ensemble.

Traditional hymns with audience participation will include "Hark! the herald angels sing", and "O come, all ye faithful.” John Gardner's setting of "Tomorrow shall be my dancing day,” which has been sung at every performance of "A Boychoir Christmas" for nearly 40 years, will once again close the performance.

The Boychoir of Ann Arbor is a 501(c)3 non-profit community youth choir — bringing together boys who like to sing and presenting beautiful choral performances for our communities.
