Sing-along holiday fun: treats, soloists, door prizes!

Last year's Winter Solstice/Hanukkah/Christmas singalong was such a hit, we just have to do it again! And this year, it's a co-production with St. Alban's. What does that mean? Even better treats! Even more music!

Because 'tis the season to sing along with your favorite holiday tunes, listen to some fabulous soloists, eat some cookies and chocolate, and drink some nog! Can you sing "well"? Fabulous - Sing out, Louise! Do you often wind up lip-synching to Happy Birthday (perhaps because some unkind person told you when you were ten that you can't carry a tune in bucket)? Who cares - sing out, Louise - we're here to have a good time - and we'll have song leaders to help keep you/us in tune :)!

Small, squirmy children? Bring 'em! Serious musician children? Come on down! Friends and family with accessibility issues? Our hall is fully accessible, and an inclusive and welcoming space. Bring your whole family along!

Ooh - and did we mention door prizes? Yes indeedy - there will be door prizes - tickets to Berkeley Symphony, tickets to Calliope, a private oboe lesson, an hour of Mac computer support with MacMama, CDs of fantastic local musicians - and more.....!!!!Be prepared to sing con spirito - we will have a blast!

Capacity limited to 80 attendees.

In our lovely Parish Hall - with the 1924 Steinway!

With pianist Leon Chou (Albany High, Cal, BCCO) as accompanist, song leaders Larry DiCostanzo, Kris Whitten, Amy Kessler and Christine Staples. Performances by Jesse Distiller, Judah Lampkin, Amy Kessler and more!

Here are some of our favorite tunes: In the Bleak Midwinter.... Hanukkah Rock of Ages.... Joy to the World..... Deck the Hall.... Dreidl, dreidl, dreidl..... Silent Night.... O come, o come, Immanuel.... What are your favorites?
