'The Birth of a King': A Spectacular Musical Celebration of Christmas Debuted at Grand Ole Opry

A grand musical homage to the Christmas narrative was unveiled at the iconic Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, Tennessee, on a Monday evening. 'The Birth of a King: Live in Concert,' orchestrated by producer and pianist Tommee Profitt, was a robust exhibition of faith and music, featuring a collaboration of 21 vocalists accompanied by a full 60-piece orchestra, a choir of 100, and a live band, all of which combined to enhance the gravity of the Christmas story.

Immersive Soundscapes and Profound Performances

Describing the experience, Profitt highlighted the spiritual significance of the event. 'It’s the story of angels greeting this King who is being born to save the entire world,' he remarked, emphasizing the epic nature of the biblical story and its necessity for a soundtrack to match. With a reputation for intense, dynamic scores commonly associated with Hollywood and TV, Profitt's work extends to various platforms, including popular video games like 'Madden NFL '24.'

Highlighting the event was the notable presence of artists such as Colton Dixon and Ben Blasko, who both contributed to the monumental vibe of the concert. The performance intended to transcend the cozy and familiar tropes of the season and instead focused on the profound essence of Christmas -- celebrating the birth of Christ.

From Small Beginnings to Grand Stages

The journey of 'The Birth of a King' commenced in 2005, envisioned by Profitt and brought to life in a studio album in 2020. After its live debut in 2022, it was followed by a concert film and album release in 2023, ultimately gracing the stage of the Grand Ole Opry. Remarkable performances from previous shows, including those by artists such as Jordan Smith and Albert Stanaj, have already garnered millions of views online, anticipating the Opry's event with much excitement.

For Profitt, who has called Nashville his home, the Opry showcase marked a dream that he had not dared to imagine. As he recounts sharing this moment with his son, it was 'way beyond anything I ever dreamed possible.' His vision is to not only reach believers but to appeal to a wider audience through powerful storytelling conveyed through music, a testament to his deep-seated faith.

Ultimately, 'The Birth of a King: Live in Concert' aims to be more than just a performance—it seeks to be a shared experience that resonates with both Christians and non-Christians alike, powered by the universal language of a powerful narrative.
