A Celebration of Faith and Music

Every January or February, the charming town of Red Bluff in Northern California hosts a remarkable choral event. For over a decade, local interdenominational churches have come together to co-sponsor a weekend choral festival that celebrates music, faith, and community.

The weekend’s musical journey begins on Friday night, with singers gathering for rehearsals that continue through Saturday. Under the expert direction of conductor and clinician Allan Petker, participants refine their craft and build camaraderie. The climax of the weekend is an uplifting ecumenical worship gathering on Sunday morning, where the collective voices of the singers come together in a joyful celebration of faith and music.
