Saint Mary's College music program features three festive concerts in December

The Saint Mary’s College Music Program will wrap up the fall semester with several days of concerts from Dec. 1-4. Performances begin on Dec. 1 and Dec. 3 at 8 p.m. with the "One True Joy" Choir Concert in the SMC Chapel. This concert will feature Glee, Chamber and Jazz Singers and will share beloved classics by Lassus, Byrd, and Dello Joio and lesser known but fabulous pieces by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, Carlos Chavéz, Buddy Johnson, Billie Holiday, André Thomas, and Zanaida Robles.
The not-to-be missed concert will also showcase Zoe McCray’s new arrangement of Beyoncé’s “Pretty Hurts,” holiday carol-singing, and soul-stirring jazz and sacred works by Bay Area composer, Greg Murai. Admission is free, but contributions are welcome to support the Choir.
On Friday, Dec. 2 at 7:30 p.m., the Chamber Players and Concert Ensemble feature Ennio Marricone's “The Good the Bad and the Ugly,” Astor Piazzola's “Oblivion,” and original compositions and arrangements by Saint Mary's Music Faculty member Sam Reider at LeFevre Theatre. Ticket information is available via the SMC Performing Arts website (www.stmarys-ca.edu/ music-concerts-Dec22).
Finally, on Sunday, Dec. 4 at 4 p.m. the Jazz Band will share its holiday spirit with a concert in LeFevre Theatre. It will feature a selection of jazz classics and then beloved holiday music by Bobby Timmons, José Feliciano, Irving Berlin, Billy Strayhorn, Mariah Carey and more. Ticket information for the show is also available via the SMC Performing Arts website.
Tickets: $15 General Admission, $8 for SMC Students, $12 Staff/Faculty/ Non-SMC Students. Online sales only. For help with order or for more info, please contact Tara Sundy at (925) 631-4670 or tms8@stmarys-ca.edu.
