San Juan Singers director Angel Michaels promises “some of the most joyful and glorious music ever written” during the community chorus’s Whittier stage holiday concerts on Saturday and Sunday, December 19 and 20. This year’s featured work is English composer John Rutter’s song cycle built on the “Magnificat,” which Angel guarantees “will delight performers and audiences equally.” Yariv Aloni of the Victoria Chamber Orchestra will be the guest conductor, and he’s bringing along some orchestra members to play in the concert. Angel is very enthusiastic about the renowned Israeli-born conductor and violist: “He’s very personable and brings energy and passion to his conducting. He loves the music and loves musicians and he just pulls all that love out of his singers.”

Back by popular request! Marley was dead, to begin with…”-and what happens to Ebenezer Scrooge’s mean, sour, pruney old business partner after that? Chained and shackled, Marley is condemned to a hellish eternity. He’s even given his own private tormentor: a malicious little hell-sprite who thoroughly enjoys his work. Desperate, Marley accepts his one chance to free himself: To escape his own chains, he must first redeem Scrooge. So begins a journey of laughter and terror, redemption and renewal, during which Scrooge’s heart, indeed, is opened; but not before Marley-in this irreverent, funny and deeply moving story-discovers his own.
