The Festival Carolers are not available live  in 2020

Singing has been identified as a risky activity for spreading respiratory droplets.  To protect our singers, and our audiences, the Festival Carolers will not be performing during 2020 due to COVID-19.  Look for us to be back in December 2021.

​

A Victorian Treat for the Holidays

This lively ensemble of 12 to 24 select singers, festooned in Victorian costumes, performs at holiday parties, retirement centers, retail shops and other events with a Victorian Christmas ambiance. It’s a feast for the eyes and ears. Twenty-eight select voices from the larger chorale provide caroling during the yuletide season. The unique selection of music, coupled with Dr. Holmquist's ability to bring vitality as well as technical prowess to the music, has received enthusiastic responses from all listeners for the past 25 years.

The Festival Carolers are in great demand during the holiday season. To book your event, call the message line at 503-585-5404 or email Rebekah Wozniak-Gelzer well in advance. We begin booking events in early fall for the Nov/Dec. holiday season. Last minute opportunities are available, but rare.
