For Megan Climer, music has always been a lifelong passion. As a freelance brand and marketing strategist and mixed media artist, her creative talents extend beyond a computer or canvas all the way to the stage. As a proud member of the Bert Coble Singers (BCS) for six years, a group known for its rich tradition of delivering heartfelt Christmas performances that resonate deeply within Lebanon. Megan takes pride in giving back to her community through her involvement, inviting readers to join in the celebration of Christmas, reminding us all that music has the power to uplift and connect us during this special time of year.
Megan's journey with the BCS began with her love for singing, a passion that ignited when she first picked up a microphone as a young girl. Having sung in school choirs and now directing the choir at St. Frances Cabrini Catholic Church, she values the opportunity to collaborate with fellow musicians who share her dedication.
"Our singers are all passionate about music, and the sounds we create together are truly remarkable," she shares. This familial bond among the members enriches their performances, making each show a celebration of love and community—especially during the Christmas season.
The BCS have been a staple in Lebanon for over three decades, performing their beloved Christmas program each year. The group, directed by Jennifer Perry and Jason Ligon, not only entertains but also contributes to several local charities, including Cumberland University, Our Sisters Keeper, Compassionate Hands, Empower Me Center and more. Over the years, they have raised substantial funds to support these causes, embodying the spirit of giving established by the late Dr. Bert Coble, a former music director at Cumberland.
The upcoming Christmas Dinner Shows, scheduled for December 12th, 13th, and 14th, promise to be enchanting, filled with beautiful holiday music and heartwarming community spirit. Reservations for these performances sell out quickly, making it essential to book soon. Visit bertcoblesingers.com for information.
