Join the Rainier Youth Choirs’ for its holiday concert, “Ring Out, Wild Bells,” set for 3 p.m., Saturday, Dec. 13 at the Kent United Methodist Church, 11010 SE 248th St.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The concert will feature six ensembles of more than one-hundred talented local youth. A tradition, the RYC will include audience sing-a-longs of familiar carols, and RYC alumni will be invited on stage to sing some holiday favorites with current members.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The program includes traditional favorites such as: John Rutter’s “Tomorrow Shall Be My Dancing Day”; G. F. Handel’s “How Beautiful Are the Feet” from Messiah; Wilhousky’s “Carol of the Bells”; and seasonal arrangements including Marc Hafso’s “There is no Rose of Such Virtue”; Stratton’s arrangement of “Patapan”, a new composition by Stephen Main entitled “The Darkest Midnight in December” featuring Julia Swienty of Covington on celeste; and Lindbergh High School’s Sarah Harkness adds her virtuoso flute to an arrangement of “O Come, O Come Emmanuel” by Timothy Bandy.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The finale, Jim Papoulis’s new “Sing for Peace,” will include all 100-plus RYC singers with handbells, djembe, flute and glockenspiel.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

“And we’ve even got a bit of jazz and barbershop, too,” said Leora Schwitters, RYC’s artistic director.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

A “cookie mingle” follows the concert.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
