PS22 Chorus "Joy To The World" Saks 5th Avenue Windows Unveiling

http://ps22chorus.blogspot.com

On Monday, the PS22 Chorus helped add some holiday cheer to the Saks 5th Avenue Windows Unveiling in Manhattan. The kids gave a Christmas-themed performance, singing some holiday classics as well as some of their biggest hits thus far this year. It was an amazing time for the kids and for all who were lucky enough to witness the performance, including Phil Donahue, Marlo Thomas, Fern Mallis, and Nannette Lepore. Also on hand to perform was Tony Award-winning Broadway actress, Kristen Chenoweth, who performed a beautiful version of "I'll Be Home For Christmas." A fantastic night!

Here's the Christmas traditional, "Joy To The World," which the kids very quickly put together for this performance. And some always-entertaining bus footage....

What are your thoughts on public school choruses singing religious Christmas songs?

[agreggofsociety]

i think songs are for singin'. i always include songs for all of the major winter holidays -- christmas, chanukah, eid, and kwanzaa. i think music is one of the most beautiful and meaningful ways to learn from and celebrate cultural and religious diversity.

[agreggofsociety]

The kid at the end is my favorite! Mostly because his bright blonde hair always stands out, and it is definately "cool haire".
