A Most Wonderful Time!
Classic Carols, Pinkham’s Christmas Cantata
and Seasonal Tunes with the Pete Ellman Big Band

For many Naperville and DuPage residents, the Annual Naperville Chorus Holiday Concerts mark the beginning of their “Most Wonderful Time of the Year.” More than 100 singers from around the area, under the direction of conductor Kevin Kelly, bring holiday cheer through traditional choral Christmas music. Compositions and arrangements by famed English composer, John Rutter and a lively Christmas Cantata, composed by Boston based, Daniel Pinkham, complimented by a ten-voice brass choir, will be included in the first half. The second half of the evening features holiday jazz instrumental and choral arrangements in the Chorus’ tenth collaboration with the Pete Ellman band. Two performances sing in the season — to be moved, to be jolly and to be jazzy.
