A Christmas Musical
Arranged & Orchestrated by Cliff Duren
Featuring Jason Crabb
Narrations by Nan Allen
Celebrate Christmas Southern Gospel-style with The Star Still Shines and proclaim the true reason for our seasonal celebration – that Jesus is the one true light of the world! Narrated by Grammy award-winning vocalist Jason Crabb, this musical not only reminds us of the historical events of Christ’s birth but also rekindles the light that shines in our hearts. From the toe-tappin’ “Every Light That Shines at Christmas” to the soulful “Have You Seen That Child?,” The Star Still Shines delivers a rich, full sound that provides an experience that will bless choir and congregation alike.
