The holidays fill us with feelings of contentment and joy due to the beautiful lights that dot the landscape and the musical tunes that surround us. The New Haven Symphony Orchestra invites one and all to their annual pops concert on Saturday, December 15, 2007 at 7:30 p.m. at Fairfield University's Quick Center. For this celebration, the Symphony is joined by The Janes, a vocal trio similar to the Andrews Sisters, and the Elm City Girls Choir, the renowned ensemble of the United Choir School in New Haven. The program consists of Benjamin Britten's A Ceremony of Carols, Niccola Porpora's Lauda Jerusalem, jazz renditions of familiar favorites and the inimicable sonorities associated with female groups.
If you want to get into the holiday mood, the Library offers Yolanda Adams' Christmas with Yolanda Adams, Julie Andrews' Greatest Christmas Songs, Joan Baez's Noel or James Brown's Christmas. For those who want to swing, the Library has Harry Allen's Christmas in Swingtime, Ray Charles' Spirit of Christmas or Grover Washington's Breath of Heaven.
