Christmas is not merely a point in time - it is equally a state of mind. It is simultaneously peace and joy, loving and giving, fun and laughter. And nowhere in the tapestry of human experience are those values captured more eloquently than in the music of the season. Each and every one of those mindsets found expression in this concert.


Once again a major contributor to the glory of the season was the delightful presence of the Olympia Youth Chorus, which led off both halves of the concert and joined OCS in the rousing finale. In that resplendent finale, all ensembles joined to express the wish of Joy to the World, a reflection of all the good things that form the state of mind entitled Christmas!
