Happy Holidays! Looking for festive ways to celebrate the season with music? The Bay Area is home to countless youth and adult choirs and symphony groups, with performances that promise to put you in the spirit. Whether you are in San Francisco or along the Peninsula, there is something for anyone interested in live music this December. These performances showcase the region’s incredible musical talent, and offer unique interpretations on holiday classics that are fit for all ages.
Here are some of our favorites this season:
