(Sonoma County, CA) – The holidays have arrived at the Green Music Center! In celebration of the in person performances that move and inspire us, the Green Music Center presents five exceptional concerts to ring in the season!
December at the Green Music Center sees the return of pianist, singer, and arts educator Damien Sneed whose holiday show Joy To The World: A Christmas Musical Journey features a cast of 10 singers and musicians performing well-known holiday classics such as “Silent Night,” “This Christmas,” “Joy To The World,” excerpts from The Messiah, and many others (Dec 9).
The next night Shawn Colvin, Marc Cohn, and Sara Watkins unite for a memorable show that will feature the three Grammy® Award-winning artists on stage together, performing songs and sharing stories (Dec 10). This season marks the 35th anniversary of the multi-platinum Winter Solstice album series from Windham Hill Records (founded in Palo Alto in 1975). Grammy® Award-nominated singer, fiddler, pianist, and songwriter Barbara Higbie joins composer/guitarist Todd Boston, and cellist Mia Pixley, to lead a joyous holiday concert (Dec 16).
Having skipped one entire holiday season, the San Francisco Gay Men’s Chorus are about to explode with pent-up excitement. They’ve chosen the very best of the last 10 years along with brand new pieces, literally one showstopper after another. This performance will raise funds to benefit Face 2 Face, ending HIV in Sonoma County (Dec 18).
For the final performance of 2021 The American Bach Soloists return to Weill Hall to perform the perennial holiday classic—Handel’s Messiah.
