The Wilton Singers are back on the stage for an all-new holiday concert you won't soon forget! Returning to the WEPCO complex for a two-night performance on December 3rd & 4th, their latest program, featuring the Wilton High School Madrigals, is sure to put you in the holiday spirit.
As we’ve come to expect from this acclaimed group, the Wilton Singers concert will cover a wide range of musical styles and genres. From a cappella songs made popular by Pentatonix and Straight No Chaser, to madrigals, holiday favorites, and a stunning presentation of award-winning composer Eric Whitacre’s “Alleluia,” there’s music for every choral fan.
The concert also features a number of guest Performers. “The Singers will be accompanied by a jazz trio on some of the more contemporary numbers, and by a string quartet for the more traditional selections,” revealed Alison Conroy, Board President of the Wilton Singers. “The musicians really take things up a level. And this is a unique opportunity for the audience to enjoy the Madrigals, the elite choral group at Wilton High School, in an intimate setting.”
To honor the safety of their audience and group, the Singers have taken a different approach to the concert format, including the food, for the holiday shows this year.
“We thought very hard about how to make this concert inclusive for everyone, at every comfort level,” producer Alison Wood explained. “We wanted to keep the comradery of sharing food with our guests, but we also wanted to be conscious of everyone’s safety.”
This year, instead of a traditional “Feast”, there will be a pre-show reception for a limited number of VIP guests to meet for “sweet treats and bubbly.” These premium tickets also feature reserved seating during the concert, which will be “auditorium-style.” General admission tickets are also available.
Wood continued, “We’re hoping this special event will provide that feeling of holiday togetherness we’re known for, in a safer environment.”
Tickets for "A December to Remember" are on sale now. VIP and General Admission tickets can be purchased online only at www.wiltonsingers.org. Exclusive VIP reception at 7:00 PM, Concert Begins at 8:00 PM. All concert attendees are asked to be fully vaccinated and to wear masks when not actively eating or drinking. Get tickets before they’re gone!
