Central Dakota Children’s Choir presents their 28th annual Christmas concerts, “Angels Sing” on Friday, December 19 and Saturday, December 20 at 7:00 p.m. at the Belle Mehus Auditorium, 201 N 6th St, Bismarck.
The concerts are sponsored by Knife River. All seats are reserved. Discounted advance tickets available at www.aboutcdcc.org until 3:00 pm on December 18.

The concert will feature each of CDCC’s five choirs. Audience members will hear a mix of traditional Christmas music as well as some lesser-known Christmas tunes that will be sure to entertain. For the finale, the choirs will combine to perform a holiday classic.
Formed in 1998, CDCC has grown from one choir of 65 students to five choirs, a second-grade pre-choir, and a class for first graders with over 300 children in grades 1 - 12 from 44 public, private, and homeschools from central and western North Dakota. The choirs have been invited to perform at many local, state, and regional events and are directed by Teri Fay, Dawn Hagerott, James McMahon, Dr. Dean Jilek, and Lexie Birnbaum and accompanied by Carol Huck, Beth Weiss, and David Larson.
