Artistic Director Paul Caldwell conducts his first holiday concert with Seattle Men's Chorus (SMC) December 4-22 at Benaroya Hall. SMC's Silver & Soul brings 250 joyful voices singing classics like "Sleigh Ride" and "O Come, All Ye Faithful" and mixes in a tender David Bowie tribute with a clever karaoke sing-along. Traditional favorite "Silent Night" returns, along with sassy new holiday tunes that get topped off with a spectacular disco Santa finale.

For close to four decades SMC has presented their unique blend of song, dance, and campy comedy to the Northwest. They have solidified their role as Seattle's biggest Holiday extravaganza; and this year's concert comes with a new artistic director.Paul Caldwell brings an inspired energy, filling this year's offerings with rich tones of gospel and soul that reflect his southern roots.

As in years past, SMC will hold Everett and Tacoma area concerts. Details for those two concerts are online atwww.seattlechoruses.org. For the fifth consecutive year, SMC is proud to partner with Lifelong for a Holiday Food Drive during the Seattle concerts at Benaroya Hall.
