Cal Poly Choir's Holiday Kaleidoscope

Cal Poly’s Choirs will present the seventh annual “Holiday Kaleidoscope” at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Dec. 1, in the Performing Arts Center. As a special treat, the concert will include performances by the Cal Poly Wind Ensemble and the Cuesta College Chamber Singers; and, in what has become an annual tradition, the Cabrillo Madrigal Singers from Lompoc will make a guest appearance, directed by Cal Poly graduate Jennifer Peterson (Music, ’95). Other fun features will include College of Liberal Arts Dean Philip J. Williams’ narration of “’Twas the Night Before Christmas,” and performances by the a cappella groups Take it SLO and That’s the Key. Cal Poly faculty guitarist Jim Bachman will accompany on Alf Houkum’s “Rune of Hospitality,” and new Cal Poly voice instructor and tenor Lorenzo Johnson Jr. will be featured in a powerful “modern” spiritual. University Organist Paul Woodring will accompany the choirs on piano and organ, and Scott Glysson will conduct. More information is on the Music Department’s calendar website. Tickets are sold at the Cal Poly Ticket Office, 805-756-4849.
