Celebrate the release of the UVP Choir’s first original single and music video, A Holiday Called Home, this Saturday, December 12, at 5pm PT. In a time where lights are going up and many of us stay warm around the fireplace, the lyrics call for hope in “a holiday for all the year, no neighbor left to roam,” envisioning a future where we all can have a home.

We will be supported by an outstanding line-up of guest artists who have collaborated with us over the years, including the Tony award winning Ben Vereen, Funk Legend Bootsy Collins and his wife Pepperminte Patti of the Bootsy Collins Foundation, DJ Lance Rock of Yo Gabba Gabba, hornist Sarah Willis of the Berlin Philharmonic, actor & singer-songwriter Maggie Wheeler, and New York-based international entertainer L’Marco.
