Under the baton of conductor Jack E. Larsen, and with Anne Larsen at the piano and La Von Hansen at the organ, the concert was rich and fulfilling. The stately tabernacle was filled with residents who had come to join with the chorus in hearing the traditional Christmas favorites and they were not disappointed. The music, under the direction of talented Mr. Larsen, was full bodied and well performed. It is a tribute to the community that we have chorus members who are so willing to give so generously of themselves. They practice weekly and their only pay is the applause of a grateful audience. Adding a climax of class to the concert was the performance of the Kelly Bell Ringers from Cyprus High, in Magna. The eight bell ringers delivered a stunningly beautiful performance, creating a setting that truly made you feel that angels were singing in the old tabernacle. American Fork is fortunate in having such a fine Civic Chorus., May we thank them for spreading the spirit of Christmas through song. It was a timely concert, wen done!
