Calling all Westsiders!

by guest blogger Jennifer Cheng

WTF?! Festival

For those of you who need to walk off your holiday meals, please join us for caroling! You can see us at our Pasadena concert, and remind yourself of some holiday lyrics before you join us caroling in Culver City with Tim Robbin’s The Actors Gang on December 19.

Ok, for those of you Westsiders who don’t go east of the 405, this is your opportunity to show your love for talented women who sing, and guess what? The collective love and joy is multiplied! Caroling is always my favorite part of December, bringing joy to people across different religions and cultural traditions.

So much to do in LA!

So, as part of our obligations to the grant we received from the Los Angeles County we are required to post our events on their experienceLA.com site. In doing so, I was reminded on how cool this site is! Unlike Goldstar, it is full of events produces by folks who are just like us - small, non-profit, LA community based, arts organizations. You know how you are always saying “This city is so rich with cultural happenings! I gotta get me out to some!” ? Well, maybe that was just me saying that, but this is a great way to keep informed of what’s going on. Also - our concert is posted here, and there are some cool features like “set a reminder” or “sent an invite” that makes letting your people know about our event easy. So thank you LA County Arts Council, for making us do something kinda smart!

Pictures of LA County Holiday Celebration’s crew getting pictures of us!

well, ok, not really pictures, unless you count the moving kind! Really, a crew came out to do some background before we perform on Christmas Eve at the Dorothy Chandler (all information that you may need can be found in the previous post by Lauren).

 anyway, here are a few pictures i snapped of the crew as they asked us what we all did for a living…

So What Do You Do?

And You? What Do You Do?

Can You Tell Us One More Time What It Is That You Do?

I’m Pretty Sure We Know What You Do!

LA County’s Holiday Celebration Featured Artists! What?!?

All Wrapped Up for the Holidays

That’s right! A film crew from LA County’s Annual Holiday Celebration is coming to our rehearsal next Tuesday 11/10 to film us. (duh - that’s what film crews do) They are also going to interview some of us too! We think that the footage will be used to promote their event, but I’m not sure where. Hopefully on KCET!

For those of you who do not know about the  LA County’s Annual Holiday Celebration, it is most awesome! Since 1964 the Los Angeles County Arts Commission has produced a Holiday Celebration in the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion of the Music Center on December 24th. Admission is totally free! Also, it is a multi-cultural event performed by local LA arts organizations, which means you are apt to see some traditional Christmas stuff, and some more modern takes on the holiday. Last year a dance company performed a very interesting and fun interpretation of the Nutcracker Suite. I think there was a dinosaur involved. And what says Happy Holidays more than prehistoric creatures?

So if you are in town Christmas Eve, check it out! And stay tuned for more info on the filming.

Oy. It’s Been A While

ok, internets, what have you been up to since…February?!?!!

we finished our 12th season (our june concert was fabulous! we had some of our favorite kids from Creative Planet School of the Arts sing and dance with us!) and are now up and running with our 13th season.

and since it’s #13, we’re doing something a little different this year: a holiday concert! yep, vox is decking the halls in december with our first (and quite possibly our only) concert celebrating the sounds of the season.  so while it’s a little strange to be rehearsing holiday music in october, we’re looking forward to spreading holiday cheer to you and yours!
