As the year comes to a close, CMC’s Neighborhood Choirs for Older Adults & Adults with Disabilities are celebrating with festive concerts all over San Francisco during the month of December. The concerts take place around the city in the various neighborhood centers where each choir holds weekly rehearsals or as part of special neighrhood holiday events, and are open to the public and free unless otherwise noted. These year-end performances feature songs in many styles and languages: from gospel and jazz, traditional folk songs from Latin America, to showtunes and oldies, these songs are sure to bring holiday cheer. Be sure to catch a performance in the coming weeks, and be uplifted by the joy of song.
