The Central Oregon Mastersingers, under the direction of Clyde Thompson, will start off their twelfth season by presenting their annual Christmas concert, A Rose in December, at the Tower Theatre on Saturday, December 10 at 7:30pm, and on Sunday, December 11 at 2pm.

The 47-voice Mastersingers will be joined by special guests, The Dove String Quartet and harpist Laura Leighton, as well as by six other instrumentalists, in a program of Christmas music from the 17th to the 21st centuries – from gems of the Baroque era to works by leading contemporary composers, and from traditional carols to exciting gospel and African settings for the season.

Tickets are $15, $20, or $25 reserved seating, available through the Tower Theatre Box Office at www.towertheatre.org or 541-317-0700.
