Show Notes

Inspired by Christmas sing-alongs they grew up with in New Hampshire, Grammy Award-winners Dan and Claudia Zanes are blending classic Christmas songs along with music from various cultures and traditions on Saturday, December 7, in the Bethel Woods Event Gallery. 

The performance will include seasonal songs from around the world, including Puerto Rico, Korea, Wales, Tunisia, Haiti, and Washington D.C. In addition to popular holiday songs like “Let It Snow,” “Silent Night,” and “Deck the Halls,” the show will celebrate Hanukkah, Korean New Year, Kwanzaa, and the Winter Solstice.

Dan and Claudia, known for their Smithsonian Folkways recordings, will be joined by multi-instrumentalist and children’s music artist Elena Moon Park. The trio will combine folk music with guitar, violin, trumpet, harmonica, flute, spoons, percussion, and mandolin, creating an intimate, living-room-like atmosphere onstage.he Christmas sing-alongs they grew up with in New Hampshire.

The Holiday Sing-Along will also be sensory-friendly, making it accessible for everyone. Attendees will receive a printed songbook to follow along with the music. After the performance, ticket holders will receive a voucher for discounted access to the Bethel Woods "Peace, Love, and Lights" holiday light display.

The event is pay-what-you-wish, and tickets do not need to be purchased in advance.
