Holiday Playlist

We are incredibly fortunate to have a wonderful music department with talented students and dedicated faculty. Every December, our high school ensembles spread the holiday spirit by performing at school concerts and special events throughout the community, including the Empire State Plaza, the Rensselaer Train Station, and the Stratton VA Medical Center.

In that spirit of giving, we are sharing some holiday music from these ensembles so you can enjoy it with family and friends this week, perhaps as you decorate your tree, prepare holiday meals, or host family gatherings.

We have 14 songs for you on this episode - with two songs from each of our seven high school ensembles. The songs were recorded at our Holiday Concerts earlier this month. Enjoy!
