About the Concert:
A tradition unmatched in Northern Colorado, Poinsettia Pops has kicked off the Holiday Season in Greeley for over thirty years. This holiday concert features The Greeley Phil, The Greeley Chorale and the Greeley Children’s Chorale, and tenor Charles Moore in a performance of seasonal favorites and beloved carols. The entire family will have fun at this joyous concert in the poinsettia-adorned Monfort Concert Hall.
What’s Interesting About this Concert:
- This concert caps the week-long Festival of Trees event that takes place annually in the UCCC
- The entire stage will be decorated with poinsettias (you can order some for your home or office through November leading up to the concert)
- Singing along to the songs you know (probably all of them) is encouraged
Charles Moore, tenor
Declared a “skyscraping tenor” in a review by Arkansan music critic Eric Harrison, Dr. Charles Moore hails from Kingston, Jamaica, and had his early music beginnings in the Boys Choir of the St. Richard’s Catholic School. Recent Theater appearances include The Prince in Rusalka, Ferrando in School of Lovers (understudy), Vuval in William Grant Still’s Troubled Island; Pat in David T. Little’s Dog Days (an American Prize winning production); Pirelli in Sweeney Todd; Bénédict in Beatrice et Bénédict; Ruggero in La Rondine; Camille in The Merry Widow; Mack “The Knife” in Die Dreigroschenoper and Fenton in The Merry Wives of Windsor. Concert performances also include Don Ottavio from Mozart’s Don Giovanni with the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra, excerpts from Handel’s Messiah with the Jefferson Chamber Orchestra, Elijah with the Diocesan Festival Choir and Orchestra in Jamaica, and Saint-Saëns’s Oratorio de Noël with the Gonzales Chamber Orchestra.
