The unique restrictions and challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic couldn’t stop the City of Austin from finding a way to celebrate our annual tradition of starting the holiday season with the lighting of the Zilker Holiday Tree.
The Barton Hills Choir continued their string of consecutive performances with a unique remote, recorded set of “Jingle Bell Rock” and “Winter Wonderland” featuring their outstanding accompanying musicians.
If you missed the broadcast on Sunday, November 29 you can still view it above; the BHC performance starts at 15:08 but you’ll enjoy the entire video. Happy Holidays!
Musicians:
Barton Hills Choir – vocals
Gavin Tabone – piano

Tom Treanor – bells
BHC has performed at the annual lighting of the Zilker Holiday Tree each year since the Barton Hills Choir was formed in 2009. That’s over a decade of consecutive Choir performances at this much-loved Austin event that means even more to us since Zilker is virtually a neighborhood park for Barton Hills students.
Sadly, due to COVID-19 restrictions, the Choir won’t be able to perform at the lighting of the Holiday Tree in Zilker Park this year, but will continue their continuous streak of appearances by participating in the Virtual Tree Lighting ceremony.
For a magical trip back in time to their past performances, check out the links below for photos and videos. The songs are sure to put you in the holiday spirit!
