Mark your calendars for a very special event that’s just a few weeks away: the lighting of the Zilker Holiday Tree. An annual tradition in Austin since 1965, the Barton Hills Choir has performed at the event each year since their inception in 2009.

The show is scheduled to start at 6 PM but come early to get a seat up close to see the Barton Hills Choir perform holiday favorites, including:

Jingle Bell Rock

Sleigh Ride

Winter Wonderland

Parking is free, but bring funds for hot chocolate, kettle corn, and other goodies that will be available.  It’s a wonderful way to get into the holiday spirit and is sure to be a night to remember.

Fourth and fifth grade members of the Barton Hills Choir will be performing a special 8 minute set Saturday at the Frank Erwin Center before the Davis Cup Quarterfinal tennis matches begin. Immediately prior to the national anthem the choir will sing the patriotic favorite This Land Is Your Land, followed by sock hop hits Help Me Rhonda/Tossin’ and Turnin’, Love Potion Number Nine, and Splish Splash.

Gavin Tabone will direct and accompany the choir on keyboards, accompanied by Aaron “Hair Doctor” Dembe on electric guitar and Jake “Mr. Bubbles” Perlman on drums. The choir and musicians rehearsed at a sound check in the Erwin Center Thursday. You can view photos by Lynn Williamson and Alec Harris in this Flickr photoset.

This will be the largest indoor arena the choir has ever performed in, and since tickets to the event are sold out the expected crowd of 15,000 will be the largest audience to see them live. Watch this web site for photos and video of their performance coming soon!
