Christmas Concert: Welcome Christmas!

The Big Horn Brass Christmas concert has been a community favorite for many years! This year’s concert is themed “Welcome Christmas” and begins with the St Matthew Exaltation Handbells under the direction of Shosh Meyer. This group of thirteen musicians provides a festive introduction to the Christmas season and their ringing is memorable. Their selections will include “Ukrainian Carol of the Bells” and a fun and infectious rendition of “Wonderful Christmastime” by Seattle arranger Ron Mallory.

The Big Horn Brass is the premier large brass ensemble in the Portland area. The ensemble consists of sixteen musicians and is directed by David Byron. Their program includes Anthony DeLorenzo’s Christmas Toons which features a nostalgic medley of Christmas songs from your favorite Holiday animated features and includes “Welcome Christmas” from “The Grinch.”    The brass will also feature Christmas classics such as “The Little Drummer Boy” and other festive brass music to start your Christmas holidays!

This concert has been at St Matthew Lutheran Church for many years, and this is the first year at the Reser.  This performance is meant to be an “almost free” concert for the community.  Funding for this concert is provided by the Erik Weswig Memorial Fund and the Beaverton Arts Commission.

Masks are encouraged but not required. Proof of vaccine is not required for this event.
