Program creation and Music Direction by Benjamin Rivera
You hear them every year. Over and over again. Let us give you a break from the Christmas radio station with a concert of soaring sacred music and lesser known holiday songs that will lift you up into the clouds with our beautifully blended voices and golden harmonies. Don’t worry, we’ll bring you back to earth with a few classics that will make you want to sing along!
Keywords: divine, airy, elevated
NOTE: Our Holidays a cappella and Hanukkah a cappella programs will have overlapping repertoire.
Great for People Who:
Are looking for the musical equivalent of a home cooked meal
Wish they could express their love for the holidays in seven languages like us
Like hearing and learning new things!
Program Highlights:
Christmas music from Puerto Rico, France, Germany, and more
A sampling of music from our Hanukkah a cappella program
Annual favorites “Deck the Halls” and “Jingle a Cappella”
