Jack Hutton | Muskoka Advent Choir WOW gospel quartet 2015 Jack Hutton video @jackhuttonrag | Uploaded December 2015 | Updated October 2024, 4 hours ago.
The Muskoka Advent Choir has been captivating pre-Christmas audiences for the last two decades with performances that often bring listeners to tears. The miracle is that most of the singers do not read music. They have only six rehearsals to master cantatas that would intimidate professionals.
Here is a video of four members of this year's choir performing a Gaither classic, Mary Was The First, as a gospel quartet, backed up by the full choir.
As the guy who did the videotaping, I will confess that I am one of the biggest fans of the Muskoka Advent Choir. I know many neighbours and friends who sing in the choir and most of them have no idea of how to read music. After only six rehearsals, they bring audiences tears with seven concerts across Muskoka, including one federal prison. Linda Ellison has done a wonderful job of stepping in as the new musical director and I applaud her.
Enjoy -- and Merry Christmas!
