What better way to begin the holiday season than a delightful holiday songfest on St. Nicholas Day!  Melissa Bonetti and other performers from the UC College Conservatory of Music (CCM) will sing a variety of those favorite melodies that put us in the gala holiday mood.  Some of the songs will be done in caroling style, some will be jazzy, and others classical.  Melissa is a master’s student at CCM with a beautiful mezzo voice who will delight all of us with her talent.

Dr. Janet McDaniel…...……….…………………………………………Chairman of the Day

The New Horizons Dixieland Band of Cincinnati offers jazz and blues in addition to Dixieland tunes.  The band is composed of men and women and includes five graduates of music conservatories.  The other musicians are amateurs who love playing this peppy and fun kind of music.  Audiences of all ages find the beat and toe-tapping melodies irresistible.  A sing-along featuring holiday favorites will allow the audience to join in the merriment.

Chairman of the Day:          Betsy Bazell

People may know lots of songs from today and yester-years, but often they don't know the composers.  Join Jane and learn about the "Mystery Composer."  Come, have fun, and sing along.  (A good singing voice is not mandatory!)

Chairman of the Day          Carol Parsons

Every holiday season, the YPCC Octet of Carolers share joyous “Fa’s and La's” with their community as they sing and spread festive cheer!  YPCC is an innovative choral ensemble that connects motivated young professionals to their community. YPCC strives to help young people, ages 21-45, connect with musical partners, community members, and local businesses through direct participation in the art-making process.   With traditional Christmas favorites like Silent Night and Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, YPCC Carolers have something on their list to bring a smile to everyone’s face.   Part of the program includes a Sing Along.
