Holiday Concert 2012
Part of Monterey’s day-long holiday celebration, the Monterey County Pops! presents a program of Holidays Around the World.
Music from France, England, Ukraine; Feliz Navidad (Puerto Rico) and “Hanukkah, Oh Hannukah.” We will conclude with a sing-along (Jingle Bells, Frosty the Snowman, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and White Christmas), “Go Tell It on the Mountain” (a spiritual) and the “Christmas Jazz Suite.”
The performance includes guest appearances by Dance Kids of Monterey County and Youth Music Monterey County.
Immediately following the concert we will lead a procession to the City of Monterey’s tree lighting ceremony.
As always, this is a free performance open to all. The Golden State Theater’s seating is limited to 1,000 guests so plan to arrive promptly when the doors open at 3:15.
