Inspired by our return to performances on Miami Beach – All Souls’ Episcopal Church – this holiday program will feature songs connected to spending the holidays at home with those we love and those…well not so much.
The Evite has been sent! Will they come Home for the Holidays?
The centerpiece of the concert is work called “The Long Christmas Dinner” by Larry Moore. Set in the Baroque style, this short “Oratorio” is about a gay couple – Roger and Steven – who travel to Peoria to spend Christmas with Roger’s family where Steven assumes he will not be accepted as Roger’s “roomie.” It is a tongue-in-cheek view of what is undoubtedly a very uncomfortable situation. The program will feature songs about longing to be home for the holidays and longing for medication in order to survive being home for the season. Home For the Holidays will wrap the season in the music – some traditional and familiar, some brutally honest – that honors our perfectly imperfect families.
We are thrilled to be joined by the South Florida Jewish Chorale, under the direction of Jami Lercher, for these performances.
