This Week on Classical Edge

 Buenos Noches Me Amigos,   Last Sunday was the 9th anniversary of Classical Edge.   Zig Ziglar, a person who influenced me died Thursday the 28 of November. http://seattletimes.com/html/businesstechnology/2019793010_zigziglarobitxml.html   On Thursday December 13, the Choral Christmas Concert of Providence Classical Christian School, will take place at 7PM, at Trinity Lutheran Church, 6215 196th St SW, Lynnwood, WA. Lots of good seating, good acoustics, free parking, free program, easy access from I-5 and most of all, one of the best choirs in the Puget Sound, considering they are made up of 2nd to 12th graders. See below for the program. These students start singing in the 1st grade and so some (many/most) of them have 12 years of singing experience. Singing is a required subject for all grades and all students. This concert will be more like the traditional Christmas service which consists of nine lessons (Scripture readings), each followed by a carol sung by the audience and/or choirs. The readings and carols outline the prophecy and fulfillment of the birth of Jesus Christ. If you have questions, please contact me on my cell.
