Get ready for a night of festive tunes and holiday cheer in Campbell, California! On Saturday, December 7, 2024, from 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM, the Campbell United Methodist Church will host "SONGS OF THE SEASON - A Choral Concert of Holiday Favorites." This musical extravaganza promises to be a treat for the ears and a warm hug for the soul.
A Merry Mix of Melodies
The concert's program is a delightful mix of old and new, featuring ancient English carols, traditional Christmas songs from around the world, and beloved holiday movie favorites. It's like a musical advent calendar, with each song opening a new door to holiday joy.
Ancient English Carols: A Trip Down Memory Lane
Have you ever wondered what Christmas sounded like when people still thought the Earth was flat? The ancient English carols on the program will give you a taste. These tunes have stood the test of time, proving that a good Christmas song is like a fruitcake - it only gets better with age.
Around the World in 80 Christmas Songs
Okay, maybe not 80, but the concert will feature traditional Christmas songs from around the globe. It's like taking a sleigh ride worldwide without leaving your seat. Who knows, you might discover that "Jingle Bells" sounds even better in Swahili!
Holiday Movie Favorites: Sing Along With the Stars
Remember that "Home Alone" scene when Kevin lip-syncs to "White Christmas"? Or when Will Ferrell belts "Santa Claus is Comin' to Town" in "Elf"? The concert will feature some of these cinematic holiday classics. Just try not to shout, "You sit on a throne of lies!" during the performance.
The Maestro and His Merry Band
Kevin Cormier leads this festive orchestra, a conductor who can make a choir sound smoother than hot chocolate with marshmallows. With Cormier at the helm, even "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer" might sound like a masterpiece.
The Unsung Heroes of Holiday Harmony
Behind every great choir is a great accompanist; this concert has two! Crista Alvey will tickle the ivories as the main accompanist, while Glenda Rasmussen will back up the soloists. These two could probably make "Jingle Bells" sound like a symphony on a kazoo.
A Church Turned Concert Hall
The Campbell United Methodist Church at 1880 S Winchester Blvd will transform into a winter wonderland for the night. Don't worry. You won't have to sit on hard pews - unless that's your thing. Just remember, if you hear sleigh bells during the concert, it's probably part of the music and not Santa making an early delivery.
Why You Should Go
Your playlist of "All I Want for Christmas Is You" on repeat is getting old. This concert is your chance to expand your holiday music horizons. Plus, it's a great excuse to wear that ugly Christmas sweater your aunt gave you last year.
What to Expect
Expect to laugh, to cry (tears of joy, we hope), and to leave with a spring in your step and a song in your heart. You might even learn a new carol or two to annoy your neighbors with during your next caroling session.
A Word of Warning
Side effects of attending this concert may include uncontrollable humming of Christmas tunes, sudden urges to decorate everything in sight, and an irresistible desire to spread holiday cheer. If these symptoms persist, congratulations! You've caught the Christmas spirit.
So, mark your calendars, dust off your Santa hats, and prepare for a night of holiday music that'll jingle your bells and rock around your Christmas tree. Whether you're a Scrooge or a Buddy the Elf, this concert will surely put you in the holiday mood. Who knows, you might even catch Kevin Cormier wearing a red suit and beard. (Disclaimer: Santa's appearance is not guaranteed.)
Remember, this is more than just a concert - it's a chance to come together, celebrate the season, and maybe, just maybe, figure out what figgy pudding actually is. So grab your friends, family, or that neighbor who still has their Christmas lights up from last year, and head to the Campbell United Methodist Church on December 7th. It's going to be a holly, jolly good time!
