From “Jingle Bells” and “We Wish You a Merry Christmas” to Handel’s “Messiah” — ‘Hallelujah: for the Lord God Omnipotent reigneth’, this is the season to sing. And we’re not just talking campfire singing, no. Many of the sing-alongs include lavish surroundings such as Disney Concert Hall in L.A. or the beautiful Grace Cathedral in San Francisco. The accompaniments are really quite special, as well. From a guest appearance by Julie Andrews with Angeles Chorale and John Sutton, conducting, to San Diego Symphony Holiday Pops with conductor Matthew Garbutt, the quality of many sing-alongs promises to be extraordinary.

So get busy singing…it’s a gift to yourself this holiday.  Here’s more info!
