UPCOMING EVENTS:

NEWS RELEASE:  The traditional Thanksgiving Morning Celebration in the historic Rexburg Tabernacle will again be presented at 10 am to family, friends and community members who have come to know that this is the place to begin the Thanksgiving holiday.

  A community choir, which is the central focus of the program, has been rehearsing for weeks under the direction of Steve Dresen and Dr. Stephen Thomas.  The music offers songs of the season, songs of hope, of devotion and gratitude.  Emily Miller will give a message appropriate to the occasion and explain the long 45-year tradition of this program for those attending.

  In addition to the choral selections, other music of the hour-long program will be a vocal solo from David Olsen;  a teacher-student piano-organ duet by James Clark and Kobin Harris; a piano solo from Dr. Thomas and Isaac Ballif offering a solo on his contra-bass.

Anna Bjornn, producer of this annual celebration, says this is a long-standing event to find friends who are visiting in town for the holiday, neighbors you haven’t seen for a while, and family who attend to take time to express their thanks-giving, a day whose focus is often passed-over.  “Come and be nourished before the main meal”, she adds.

Those participating in this Thanksgiving Morning Celebration are grateful to the long-time sponsor, The City of Rexburg, and this year, very appreciative of Stone’s Town and Country-Toyota for their sponsorship and support.

Hello Rexburg Musicians!

Rexburg City Arts is sponsoring Handel's Messiah this Christmas, and we'd love to have you join us in the choir! Rehearsals will be the first 3 Thursday nights in December and Saturday morning, December 20th. The performance will be Sunday, December 21st in the Rexburg Tabernacle, at 7:00pm.  

We need experienced singers of all vocal ranges who will practice at home (we'll have rehearsal links to use) and strive mightily to be to all practices. Bring your own score. This year we are privileged to join with a full orchestra, led by Rick Hansen, and a quartet of amazing soloists. I will be preparing the choir. 

Think you'd like to join us? Please register at the link below so that we know how many singers to plan on and so that we can keep you updated on all things related to our Messiah 2025 production.  Please check the email address you provide often so you don't miss anything and we'll see you in December!
