Musical Director: Chris Ring
An experienced professional singer, pianist, director, and teacher in Los Angeles and Orange County, Chris Ring joins Classic Carolers this season as music director, coaching us to be high-quality and entertaining performers, and helping with creation and adjustment of the arrangements we sing. He loves good vocal harmony, and his favorite music of all is Christmas music! In addition to his work with Classic Carolers, Chris serves as the director of local community chorale, the Voices of Tustin. Also, he serves as the staff pianist at Granada Heights Friends Church, in La Mirada. Yet another hat he wears is as the staff accompanist for the seven choirs and vocal jazz groups at Millikin High School, in Long Beach. Chris thanks God for this opportunity, and thanks his wife and family for their blessing and support as he works and serves in the joy-filled world of music!
Administrative Assistant: Jennifer Bales
Jennifer graduated from Chapman University in 2012 with a B.A. in English Literature and minors in vocal music and dance. Jennifer has been involved with the performing arts from a very young age. She started dancing at 3 years old, and her vocal career started at the age of 6 when she joined the Pacific Chorale Girls' Chorus (which she auditioned for after her parents explained to a tearful Jennifer that she could not join the All American Boys' Chorus like her brothers before her). Around the same time, Jennifer discovered her love of musical theater while participating in summer theater camps. Jennifer participated in choirs and private voice lessons all throughout her youth and her time in high school and college. As an adult, Jennifer was thrilled to discover the Classic Carolers so she could continue her love of vocal and a capella music. Jennifer has been a singer with Classic Carolers since 2014, and took on the additional role of administrative assistant in 2020
