Christmas music... as it was meant to be heard December 4, 2011

Skip the cheesy muzak this Christmas season and hear some amazing live music instead. On Sunday, December 4, at 10AM, the Montclair Presbyterian Church Choir will present Christmas music from the English choral tradition. Featured works include Ralph Vaughan Williams' "Fantasia on Christmas Carols" and Gustav Holst's "Christmas Day." Adult and youth choirs will be joined by a string ensemble and pipe organ. Come celebrate the season with majestic music written for Gothic cathedrals! 5701 Thornhill Dr., Oakland CA 94611. (510) 339-1131.
