For the eighth consecutive year the Barton Hills Choir performed holiday songs at the annual lighting of the Zilker Holiday Tree. This year was special because the event celebrated the 50th anniversary of the tree lighting in Zilker Park, under a tree created around the newly restored moonlight tower.

Make plans now to get your holiday spirit in full swing by attending the lighting of the Zilker Holiday Tree, Sunday, November 27 at 6:00 PM. Come early to get a good seat and bring some pocket money for kettle corn and hot chocolate.
The Zilker moonlight tower the Tree is hung from was disassembled and removed in April for restoration, but returned and relit on August 31 in plenty of time for holiday preparations.
Third, fourth, fifth, and sixth grade members of the Barton Hills Choir will perform for the seventh year in a row. The choir will sing holiday classics including Sleigh Ride, Jingle Bell Rock, and Winter Wonderland. Accompanying the choir are Director Gavin Tabone on keyboards, Jake Perlman on drums, Tom Treanor on percussion, Jason Brint on bass, Don Cento on guitar, and Randy Franklin on mandolin.
Performing the Christmas classic ‘The Nutcracker’ is an annual tradition for the 4th, 5th, and 6th grade students at Barton Hills Elementary. Take time to watch the 2015 production in this video produced by BHE Choir Director Gavin Tabone. BHE 4th graders provide the vocal accompaniment for the 5th and 6th grade stage performers.
