Courtesy photo The Arvada Chorale is preparing for two performances of “Celtic Christmas,” a program of Christmas and wintertime songs put together by longtime accompanist and arranger Chappell Kingsland. The performances will take place on Dec. 5 and 6 at 3 p.m. at Peace Lutheran Church, located at 5675 Field Street. Kingsland — who has served as the Chorale’s accompanist and arranger for 13 years, and has worked professionally as a composer for over 20 years — said he was inspired to put together the program because of his love for Christmas and the way that Christmas songs bring people together. “I wrote this because Christmas has always been my favorite holiday, and I've especially loved Christmas music because there's such a large repertoire of both Christmas and wintertime and holiday songs that everybody knows,” Kingsland said.
