Jamestown Choralaires Sweetheart Dinner Concert Feb. 13 and 14

The Jamestown Choralaires bring their long-running Sweetheart Dinner Concert to the Reiland Fine Arts Center tonight and again Saturday, offering an evening that pairs a meal with live choral performance for Valentine’s weekend. The concerts are presented as a community tradition that combines music and a warm holiday atmosphere.

CSi News Now described the event as “a romantic musical tradition that has become a favorite in the community,” noting the program “is designed to celebrate love through music.” Both CSi News Now and the Jamestown Sun list evening performances beginning at 7:00 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 13, and Saturday, Feb. 14. CSi News Now also points out that the Choralaires organization was “established in 1955,” underlining the group’s long presence in Jamestown cultural life.

Tickets are $45 per person. CSi News Now states, “Tickets are $45 per person and are available by advance reservation only,” and both Jamestown Sun and NewsDakota restate the local logistics: “Tickets are advanced reserved seating and can be purchased at Looysen I Care. For more information, call 701-320-0639.” Seating is limited, and organizers are encouraging early purchases to avoid disappointment.

A small calendar display on one event posting showed an 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. header that conflicts with other listings; local coverage and the event descriptions consistently list the 7:00 p.m. start time, so patrons should treat evening performances as the authoritative schedule and confirm details by phone if uncertain.

For Stutsman County residents, the Sweetheart Dinner Concert is more than a night out. Events like this sustain local arts infrastructure, provide paid opportunities for venues and vendors, and create social spaces that help reduce isolation for older adults and others who rely on community programming. Longstanding ensembles such as the Jamestown Choralaires also serve as cultural anchors; their history dating to 1955 connects multiple generations of singers and audiences across the county.

Readers planning to attend should reserve seats soon through Looysen I Care and may call 701-320-0639 for additional information. Note that a separate commercial event with a similar name appears on a national event site; that listing is a different Sweetheart’s Dinner and should not be mistaken for the Jamestown Choralaires performances. With limited seating and two evening shows, the Choralaires’ concerts present a chance for local couples, friends, and neighbors to mark Valentine’s weekend while supporting community arts in Jamestown.
