Every concert series over these many years has had some remarkable and
unique ingredients in it. Of them all however, the single most important one
is YOU. Thank you for celebrating these joyous occasions with us and making
CMI a part of your holiday tradition! You have come, supported, encouraged
and inspired us. You have listened, applauded, and rewarded us with your time,
your praise and your presence.
Every song and performance that touched you and members of your family
connect us forever. This has been an awesome exchange and we hope you
received as much from it as we have.
Kathey, my wife joins me in saying "From our family to yours.... Merry Christmas."

For the 39th consecutive year, the popular 250-voice CMI CONCERT CHOIR will present their annual concert series in Michigan and Ohio. This year's series will feature 8 concerts, including 6 special afternoon matinee performances.

It's called "Christmasfantastic", featuring favorite selections to launch the holiday season. For over three decades, this event has become a tradition for area concertgoers, with sold-out performances in each venue.

"Christmasfantastic" mixes the most requested music of the holidays with production, pageantry, visuals, costuming, special effects, sound, creative lighting, and above all, excellent musical talent. One favorite ingredient is audience participation and surprise gifts!

Produced and directed by internationally recognized musical creator, Thurlow Spurr, the concert includes the artistic musical talents of Rick Everitt, The Four Divas, The CMI Orchestra, The Brotherhood, The Thurlow Spurr Singers, The CMI GIRLZ, The CMI Spurrlows as well as other soloists and musicians from the area.

Asked to describe this year's presentation, Mr. Spurr said, "It's a musical explosion of sight and sound. Each year some surprises are added that will thrill the audience. We chose "Christmasfantastic" to celebrate the Christ of Christmas at a time when it is becoming "politically correct" to leave Him out. We invite our faithful concert patrons to come back and bring their friends. It's a 'must' for those who love the Christmas season! Many areas sold out early last year, so get your tickets now."
