Singing is an important part of every bell ringing performance. Remi Alexander will sing "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas." Karl Young will join in on his shakuhachi. Linda Bostwick and Rachel Kritz will sing the first verse of "Angels We Have Heard on High" in two-part harmony and the audience will be invited to join them for the next two verses. Catherine Miller will lead an all sing on "Santa Claus is Coming to Town." Cyndy Solomon joins the bells on her recorder for "Pat-a-Pan."

The Coastal Singers will add their beautiful voices and four-part harmonies to this concert, performing three pieces and joining the bells on "Winter Wonderland."

This concert is sure to put you in the holiday spirit!
