Every December, the holiday spirit brings our community together, and this year’s St. Paul Sound Winter Concert at Au Co Center for the Arts was a beautiful celebration of music, connection, and seasonal cheer. The event gathered families, students, teachers, and friends for an uplifting evening showcasing the artistic talents across St. Paul.
The night began with SPASH Guitar, where Middle School students delivered a collection of soothing, bright, and heartfelt guitar pieces. Their confident performance set a wonderful tone for the evening and highlighted the growing musicianship within our younger grades.
Right after, the stage welcomed outstanding performances from the SPASH Band and SPASH Choir. With each piece, the audience enjoyed a mix of festive melodies, dynamic arrangements, and the energy that only student performers can bring.
A standout moment of the first half was the appearance of our Teacher Choir, performing Country Roads and We Will Sing. Hearing our faculty share their voices created a warm connection with the community and added a special touch to the program.
The concert came alive again as the lights dimmed and the Eagles Choir took the stage with joyful harmonies that carried the spirit of the season. Their performance was followed by the expressive sounds of Eagles Guitar, bringing both calm and excitement to the hall.
To close the evening, Eagle Band, under the direction of Ms. Stacey, delivered a vibrant set of Christmas music that filled the auditorium with festive spirit. Their energetic finale drew enthusiastic applause and wrapped up the Winter Concert on a high note.
A heartfelt thank you goes to St. Paul Sound for organizing such a thoughtfully curated and inspiring event. And to all families, teachers, and guests, thank you for joining us and supporting our young musicians. Your presence helps create a stage where students can shine, grow, and celebrate the joy of music together.
