Pomona Concert Band Announces Annual Christmas Concert
The Pomona Concert Band announces its Annual Christmas Concert to be held at the Palomares Park Community Center, 499 E. Arrow Hwy in Pomona on Friday, December 16th, 2011 at 7:30 pm. The concert will be full of classics to celebrate the Holiday Season and Santa Claus will be there for kids. The concert is free to the public.
The band will perform Christmas music from many countries during their musical trip around the world. Among the numbers you will hear are "Westminster Carol", "Christmas in Poland", "A Celtic Carol", "Twas In The Moon of Wintertime"(Canada), as well as Assistant Director Jorge Garcia's special arrangements of "A Russian Christmas Hymn" and "Noel Holiday". Featured on the program will be a duet by Isaac Gonzalez and Jenna Hindi singing the beautiful "Ave Maria". We will close the program with Leroy Anderson's ever popular "Sleigh Ride".
The concert is sponsored by the City of Pomona. The Willie White Park Focus Group will sponsor Santa Claus and will provide free refreshments. Santa Claus will be collecting unwrapped toys for the Santa Cops project sponsored by the Pomona Police Department. The Master of Ceremonies for the evening will be Pomona Councilman Stephen Atchley.
The Pomona Concert Band is under the baton of Linda W. Taylor, Conductor and Musical Director, and Dr. Jorge Garcia, Assistant Conductor. Band members come from Pomona and more than twenty surrounding communities to make music together. The Pomona Concert Band was founded by G. Stanton Selby in 1947 and has represented the City of Pomona in countless events and performances over the years, including tours of Europe and Japan in 1985 and 1988.
