Katie Welsh: Happy Holidays! From Broadway & Hollywood

An Evening of Seasonal Songs

Celebrate the holidays with a concert by singer Katie Welsh, who will end her Fall Cabaret Series at the Arts Council of Princeton with Happy Holidays! From Broadway & Hollywood on Saturday, December 8th at 7:30.

Endowed with an incredible voice, Katie will again bring her “informative cabaret” approach to the evening and give us all some insights between songs. As she describes it, “So many great seasonal songs, from ‘Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas’ to ‘Silver Bells’, became famous as standalone standards but originated in musicals on stage and screen. This concert is a fun opportunity to not only enjoy your favorite holiday tunes but also learn a bit more about their original contexts and backstories!”

In addition to performing in venues and at private events in the Princeton area, Katie has also been seen in New York at Feinstein's/54 Below, Don't Tell Mama, The Duplex Cabaret Theatre, the Metropolitan Room, BroadwayCon, and the Princeton Club of New York. Katie is a graduate of Princeton University, where she first began developing her informative cabaret concept.
