‘Desert Divas’ to perform special Christmas concert

CAREFREE – Soprano Vicki Moffatt and mezzo‑soprano Mary Sue Hyatt will perform a concert of traditional favorites, including the classic “O Holy Night,” carols from around the world and selections from Benjamin Britten’s “Ceremony of Carols” as Arizona Musicfest presents “Desert Divas Encore!”

Hyatt, a Carefree resident, is an internationally known soloist with a career that has spanned several continents with grand opera and guest artist performances.

Moffatt operates teaching studios in Arizona and Texas and is affiliated with the Amarillo Opera.

Accompaniment will be provided by pianist Jan Meyer Thompson and harpist Olive Bernard.

 

"After this concert, you'll be ready for Christmas." says Arizona Musicfest chairman Chris Warsaw. "This is an exceptional musical experience because of all the artists involved, especially Mary Sue and Vicki. They've been singing together for years, which is a rare thing to have voices like theirs, such gorgeous voices, together.

“Plus, you have the intimate setting of Christ Episcopal Church, evocative of an old‑world chapel, with wonderful acoustics for voices, harp and piano, all of this makes the “Desert Divas Encore!” event special.”

After the concert, an array of wines and hors d’oeuvres will be served in Dorothy McGinnis Hall.

The performance takes place at 4 p.m., Dec. 10, at Christ Episcopal Church, 35500 N. Cave Creek Rd.  in Carefree. “Desert Divas Encore!” tickets are $50 and benefit the concerts and educational programs of Arizona Musicfest. Advance purchase is required.
