2009-2010 PAS Artists

The Raleigh Ringers
Saturday, September 12, 2009
7:30 PM

Whatever your perception of a handbell choir is, it’s not what The Raleigh Ringers are! An internationally-acclaimed, advanced community handbell choir based in North Carolina, The Raleigh Ringers have been dazzling concert audiences with unique interpretations of sacred, secular, and popular music since 1990. The group has toured in 34 states and France, released four CDs, and recorded a DVD which was broadcast on more than 250 public television stations in 44 states. This evening promises to be one of the most talked about events of the season, and will likely sell out. Purchase your tickets right away!

Keith & Kristyn Getty and Band
Awaken the Dawn Tour
Saturday, November 21, 2009
7:30 PM

Modern hymn writers and Christian musicians, Keith and Kristyn Getty, along with their band, will present a sacred concert as part of the international Awaken the Dawn tour highlighting the new album of the same name. With the writing of new hymns such as In Christ Alone and The Power of the Cross, the impact of the Getty’s upon the music and worship of the Church throughout the world is immeasurable. Come see and hear them in this rare local appearance. A sell-out is anticipated.

The Many Moods of Christmas
Saturday, December 12 & Sunday, December 13, 2009
6:00 PM

The Worship and Arts Ministry of St. Andrews Presbyterian Church presents this annual Christmas musical celebration. Classical Christmas carols are presented by a festival-sized choir and orchestra in a presentation that is quickly becoming an annual holiday tradition for many Midlands families. The event is free of charge and no tickets are required for admission. A nursery for children five and under is provided.

Sisters and South Carolina natives Allison Hudson Hilbish and Sharon Hudson Rattray have spent their lives at the heart of Columbia's musical scene. Accomplished solo performers, the pair have also accompanied major choral groups in the area including the Columbia Choral Society, Palmetto Mastersingers, and The Lexington County Choral Society. Long-time friend, percussionist Matthew Jones joins the piano duo, adding his percussion styling and electric personality to the musical journey. Join us for a dynamic concert of classics, beloved hymns and praise songs for two pianos. Don't miss the surprise guests!

Christian Comedian Charles Marshall

Charles Marshall is without a doubt one of the funniest and most original Christian comedians performing today.  In every performance Charles takes his audience on a comedic roller coaster ride, exploring every subject from product names, commercials and growing up, to dating and family life.  In addition to his reputation for excellence and originality, Charles is also known for his ability to produce roll-in-the-aisles humor while avoiding all vulgarities and obscenities.  Without a doubt, Charles stands and delivers!

  Tim Zimmerman & The King's Brass

Saturday, April 24, 2010
7:30 PM

After a stellar performance last season, the King’s Brass is back by popular demand to close out our third season. For over 20 years, The King's Brass has provided innovative worship for young and old alike through the best in sacred brass music. Christian professionals gathered from around the United States perform their original arrangements with 3 trumpets, 3 trombones, a tuba, keyboards, and percussion. This fresh, creative, and engaging group is not to be missed! Join us also for Sunday morning worship, April 25, as The King’s Brass provides musical leadership in our services at 8:45 & 11:00 a.m.
