Holly, Jolly, & Hallelujah

Santa Barbara Choral Society under veteran conductor JoAnne Wasserman was in top form for its 10th annual Hallelujah Project at the historic Lobero, which also included young Sing! project choral students from the Music Academy of the West, and Emmy-winning actress Meredith Baxter in a rocking chair reciting ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas.

Accompanied by an orchestra, the enthusiastic carolers sang a number of Yuletide classics, as well as the “Hallelujah Chorus” from Handel’s beloved Messiah.

A jolly Santa Claus only added to the festive fun.
