Description

Because we can't carol in person this 2020 holiday season, Bellevue Chamber Chorus members are teaming up for a fun collaboration featuring festive December artwork by children from both Bellevue and our larger familial circles to create an online recording of “Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire.” This classic 1945 tune (also known as "The Christmas Song") from Robert Wells and Mel Tormé was popularized by Nat King Cole, and the clever and fun choral arrangement by Roy Ringwald is full of classic holiday cheer and childhood mystery, sure to bring a smile! Featuring our magnificent accompanist Kristine Anderson in full 40's pianistic style! Join us for the premiere party on our official YouTube channel or Facebook page at 7:30 pm on Tuesday 12/22.
