Holidays and Harmonies: Handel to Jazz

Swing into the season as the Naperville Chorus and Pete Ellman Big Band present “Holidays and Harmonies: Handel to Jazz.”  Since 2017, audiences have given standing ovations to the swingin’ Christmas concerts given by these two local groups!  There’ll be something for everyone in the good beats and tunes of favorites including “We need a Little Christmas,” “Hark the Herald Angels Sing,” a jazz version of “Deck the Halls,” and the “Hallelujah” chorus from “Messiah.”  NCTV will rebroadcast the concert at a later date.

The Naperville Chorus, founded 1976, presents two major concerts each year, one during the holiday season and another in spring. This is the 7th collaboration of the chorus and Pete Ellman Big Band.  For selections of previous performances by each group, see: Naperville Chorus at www.napervillechorus.org and Pete Ellman Big Band at www.pebb.net  Collections of unwrapped, new toys for Toy-for-Tots will be accepted at the door at both the December 9 and 10 concerts.  You can make a special holiday for a child in need.  The Naperville Chorus gratefully acknowledges support from the Special Events and Cultural Amenities (SECA) Fund of Naperville, the Illinois Arts Council Agency, and many wonderful donors in our community.
