FAIRFIELD — The Fairfield Choraliers are getting ready for their competition season — and the 2012 World Choir Games in July.

With several events in the next few weeks as well as the start of the competition season, the well-known group from Fairfield High School will give audiences a taste of what to expect come July 4-14 in Cincinnati.

The Choraliers and Symphonic Choir will join the group SonShip to perform “Sounds of the Season” featuring sacred Christmas music at 7 p.m. Friday at the high school. Tickets are $10.

On Monday, the choir and orchestra will perform a free concert at 7 p.m. at the high school, then on Jan. 6-7, the show choirs — Choraliers, Pure Elegance and Rhythm Express — will debut their contest shows at the “Cocoa and Choirs” at North Fairfield Baptist Church.

Performance times are  7:30 p.m. both nights, and tickets are $5 each.

Inspired by the Olympic ideal, the goal of the World Choir Games is to unite people from all nations through singing in peaceful competition every two years, organizers said, calling it the largest and most significant international arts event ever in the history of the city.

“This is the highlight of my professional career,” Clark said.
