A JOHN PRINE CHRISTMASEver wonder what John Prine has to do with Christmas? Ever wished the beloved songwriter had more to do with sleigh bells, eggnog, and Old Saint Nick. Well, in 1994 Prine released his 11th LP titled, “A John Prine Christmas.” The critics didn’t acclaim it much, but with titles such as “Silent Night All Day Long ” and “I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus,” it’s still Prine at his lovely wry best, bringing Christmas home.
We are proud to present “A John Prine Christmas” – a night of your favorite songs featuring folk troubadour and Prine scholar, Jenner Fox, with his all-star band. The evening will weave together Prine’s classic hits, his holiday themed songs, stories, and lots of singing along. Come prepared to laugh and cry and ho ho ho your way through celebrating a true American original.
JENNER FOX BAND“The Jenner Fox Band invites us to sit still, to breathe, and to notice what we’ve been missing. Intimate, present, and unadorned.” – Atwood Magazine
“The carefully crafted songs see-saw between epic and subtle, finding poetry in the mundane.” – Cascadia Daily News
“A stunning album that should make many a sleeper ‘Best of list.” – Glide Magazine
The Bellingham, WA based band features musicians from Polecat, Gregory Alan Isakov, Noah Gunderson, and Petty or Not. Deeply grounded in the roots of storytelling, trees, rivers, and chuckles, their unique perspective brings moments of beauty that often get ignored or discarded. All of the band members have the talent to occupy the spotlight, but the grace in which they collaborate and prop each other up is magic. This is a band on the rise and a show not to be missed!

On This Shining Night
Sunday, December 14 at 2 PM
The Dalles Civic Auditorium
323 E. 4th St., The Dalles
The Voci Community Choir, a Columbia Gorge Orchestra Association vocal ensemble, is delighted to announce their upcoming winter concert, On This Shining Night. This luminous and heartfelt program explores the beauty, warmth, and hope found in light during the darkest months of the year. Audiences will be treated to an evening of radiant harmonies, stirring contemporary works, and cherished seasonal favorites that celebrate the power of illumination—both literal and metaphorical.
Under the artistic direction of Dan Kenealy, Voci has become known for expressive performances and thoughtful, diverse programming. On This Shining Night draws its inspiration from Morten Lauridsen’s beloved setting of the James Agee poem, a centerpiece of the program that reflects on compassion, wonder, and the quiet brilliance present in ordinary moments. The concert invites listeners on a reflective journey shaped by serenity, warmth, and shared human experience.
The program will include:

Sure on This Shining Night by Morten Lauridsen — the emotional and thematic heart of the concert
Glow by Eric Whitacre — a shimmering contemporary favorite composed for the World of Color Honor Choir
A cappella and accompanied works exploring themes of light, peace, and winter reflection
Contemporary selections composed and/or arranged by local composers Duncan Krummel and Linda Taylor
Audience singalong opportunities, continuing Voci’s cherished community tradition

In addition to its central works, On This Shining Night showcases music that captures the many facets of winter: the stillness of quiet evenings, the glow of shared celebration, and the guiding light we offer one another. From tender, introspective pieces to those filled with warmth and wonder, the program reflects both the softness and brilliance of the season.
Director Kenealy notes, “This concert shines from within. Each piece offers its own perspective on light, and together they create an atmosphere of warmth and connection. In a time of year when we often seek comfort and community, this program is an invitation to pause, reflect, and experience beauty together.”
Audiences of all ages are invited to join Voci for an unforgettable evening of choral artistry, seasonal glow, and communal joy.
Tickets for On This Shining Night can be purchased at gorgeorchestra.org or at the venue on the day of the performance. Advance purchases are recommended. CGOA offers $5 tickets for SNAP and QUEST cardholders and free admission for children and students with ID. Regular ticket prices are $25, and $20 for CGOA members.
