The Raven Performing Arts Theater

The Marcus Shelby Orchestra will perform the magical “Harlem Nutcracker Suite” by Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn, which is a masterpiece musical re-arrangement and orchestration of the well-known “Nutcracker” by classical composer Peter Tchaikovsky. Marcus Shelby and his orchestra performed the “Harlem Nutcracker Suite” for the first time, last year in Healdsburg and for the past decade at SFJAZZ. The music is wonderful and exciting for audiences of all ages, who will recognize many of the enduring themes from the original “Nutcracker” by Tchaikovsky, using the blues and swing as the vehicle for the music. There are nine sections that explore the range and tonal diversity of the big band orchestra. Although specifically written for the holiday season, the music has the energy, power, and joyfulness that could allow the suite to be played anytime of the year. 
The second half of this special holiday concert features celebrated Bay Area vocalist Tiffany Austin with the Marcus Shelby Orchestra, performing a program of Christmas songs, spirituals, and various traditional songs re-arranged from around the world. This portion of the concert includes poetry, a slide show, and other holiday surprises. 
Our annual Healdsburg Jazz Holiday Concert also includes a toy drive, so bring a small gift, or book, or toy that we will deliver to our local partners. 
Saturday, December 20th, at 7PM.
Admission (including fees): $29 to $104

Saint Paul's Episcopal Church

The musicians of St. Paul's Episcopal Church present a traditional "Lessons and Carols" concert at 5 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 21, at the church in Healdsburg. The public is welcome to attend and sing traditional Christmas carols while hearing the St. Paul's choir accompanied by Music Director Paul Blanchard playing the Bigelow pipe organ.
"Lessons and Carols" tells the story of the fall of humanity, the promise of the Messiah, and the birth of Jesus in nine short Bible readings interspersed with the singing of Christmas carols, hymns and choir anthems.&nbsp;The service was first performed in 1880 in Cornwall, and it slowly spread throughout Great Britain. It was first performed at King's College, Cambridge, in 1918. The service has been held at King's College&nbsp;every year since and is broadcast on radio and television. The service was first performed in the United States in 1916.
St. Paul's Episcopal Church is located at the corner of East and Matheson Streets, one block east of Healdsburg's downtown Plaza.
