Celebración Vocal Featuring the Napa Valley College: Women's Chorus, College Chorale & Gospel Choir

An evening of pure joy, pulsing with infectious rhythms and beats that are guaranteed to lift your spirits. Featuring Dr. Eve-Anne Wilkes leading the NVC Women’s and College Choruses in singing the passionate Argentine folk mass, Misa criolla, from contemporary Argentine composer, Ariel Ramírez. Sung entirely in Spanish, The Washington Postdescribed Misa criolla as “a stunning artistic achievement, combining Spanish text with indigenous instruments and rhythms.”

Following the Misa is the rousing opening number of the Broadway hit, Purlie...a foot-stomping celebration of life. This song ushers in the high-energy Napa Valley College Gospel Choir singing with pure joy and energy designed to get your blood pumping and feet moving! Director Sunny Hawkins leads this explosive chorus through favorites old and new. With their rendition of Hark! The Herald Angels Sing, these singing angels will put you in the holiday spirit.
