The fun, holiday-themed afternoon for the whole family features over a dozen young local musicians, from middle school through high school ages, presenting performances inspired by classic holiday storylines. The multi-talented young artists and writers will be doing covers of holiday standards and modern holiday favorites that everyone knows and loves.
With roots in the well-established annual (spring) Youth Music Festival, this Holiday edition draws a wide variety of musicians, running the gamut from hard rock to classically trained players. Festival Director and City of Pleasanton Youth Programming Coordinator Mark Duncanson notes: "The unique thing about the recent Youth Music Festivals (including the current Holiday Youth Music Festival) is how the young performers collaborate with one another. Jeff Zavattero (Festival Assistant Director) and I like to open the floor to youth voice. We are creating the show together, making decisions as a team with the young performers, often making changes up to the last minute. It is so much fun!"
For the Holiday production, Youth and Teen Performing Arts Program Assistant Jeff Zavattero heads up the "themes" coordination, mentoring the youth writers. Presented by City of Pleasanton Firehouse Arts Center.
