KM: I’m curious, who are some current and long-ago artists you consider to be on a level all their own both vocally and artistically?ĬS: When I choose favorite holiday artists, Mannheim Steamroller tops my list.

Cliff Schultz, artistic and musical director of Loveland Choral Society, looks at sheet music during the dress rehearsal for the group’s holiday show in 2019. Seasonal favorites and familiar holiday tunes make up the second portion of the concert, this year featuring a “sparklejollyjinglejangle” medley from “Elf.” And true to form, LCS has a couple of unexpected musical treats in store. What can attendees expect from the song selection in “We Need a Lot of Christmas?”ĬS: The first section of all LCS Christmas concerts includes a selection of inspirational traditional and contemporary carols for choir and orchestra recalling Christ’s birth and the Nativity story. KM: I know you are always a fan of incorporating rock, soul and jazz songs into productions. The LCS Christmas concerts with the combined forces signals the beginning of my holiday celebrations. This is the one time each year I accept the challenge and experience the joy of conducting both choir and orchestra.

The title and theme I chose for this year’s show “We Need A Lot of Christmas” is particularly appropriate and a welcome respite from the silence of choral music for nearly two years. This year is particularly meaningful since LCS has not been able to share the music of Christmas and spirit of the holidays since December 2019. No more silent nights: Loveland Choral Society returns with ‘We Need a Lot of Christmas’ – Boulder Daily Camera Close Menu
