Last year's Winter Solstice/Hanukkah/Christmas sing-along was such a hit, we HAD 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 concerts, 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!
