The Mayflower Chorus presents their annual holiday show this weekend at the Marin Center. The Mayflower Chorus got started in 1977 with a group of friends singing Christmas carols at San Rafael's Mayflower Pub. Their first public performance was in December of 1980, and now over 40 years later, they're community concerts are better than ever!
About the show:
Winter is a world of miracle, mystery and magic, a time when visions from the past and celebrations in the present inspire hope for a brighter future. While the magical story of Santa Claus and his flying reindeer dominates the holiday season, older myths that explore the human experience of winter have been put to music over the centuries. Ancient solstice celebrations countered the dark-night mystery of winter with story and song, religion borrowed those traditions and wove into them celebrations of light, star-sightings and miraculous births, and all across the planet, long winter nights have brought people together around hearths and fires to keep warm, feast, dance and sing. The winter holidays are a fantastic time for kids, for falling in love, for pageantry and parties, but also for reflecting on past dreams and future possibilities. The Mayflower Chorus will weave all of these wonderful traditions into this year's holiday show!
