The Sugar Hill LDS Choir will perform its annual Christmas concert this year themed God Bless Us Everyone on Sunday, Dec. 16 at 7 p.m. – marking the third year the choir has performed the free community concert. The performance will be held at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ Sugar Hill Stake Center at 4833 Suwanee Dam Rd. Taking their theme from the Dickens Christmas Carol, the concert will feature some classic Christmas pieces with a different twist and guest musical performances – providing an enjoyable evening for the whole family.

“For many families, our concert has become a Christmas tradition,” said Gates. “We have learned to balance religious with secular holiday music to provide something for everyone and leave our audience feeling the joy that comes from celebrating the Christmas Season.”

The 60-voice Sugar Hill LDS choir, named in 2006 as one of the top church choirs in Gwinnett County, is directed by Pamela Gates and draws its members from Dawson, Hall, Gwinnett and Forsyth Counties.

Several accomplished musicians and community leaders participate in the choir with cities being represented including Buford, Cumming, Dahlonega, Dawsonville, Flowery Branch, Gainesville, Lawrenceville, Oakwood, Sugar Hill and Suwanee. The all-volunteer choir always performs for free and is accompanied by Eric Kristjanson of Lawrenceville and Michelle Whetten of Suwanee.

The Sugar Hill LDS Choir has performed for key holiday celebrations for the cities of Norcross, Suwanee, Sugar Hill and Gainesville with musical events including July 4th, Memorial Day and Christmas. The choir’s spring performance includes a joint, two-day concert with the 50-piece Gwinnett Community Band under the direction of Ron Brooks.
