The Varsity Choir is a performance-oriented group of singers, comprised of students from all four high school grades. The Jazz Voices perform various styles of jazz music from the older classics to selections written by the latest jazz composers. Members of the band and orchestra will also perform during the evening’s program.
 
The concert will end with the traditional audience participation number, “The Twelve Days of Christmas.” Refreshments will be served in the Carriage Room for all to enjoy. Seating is limited and available on a first-come first-served basis. Arrive early and tour the Museum and its festive halls and stalls.
