The BBE presents "'Twas the Week Before Christmas in Chicago" a not-so-classical concert of carols, holiday cheer, and a Chicago-themed version of the classic famous story! Join BBE musicians Alex Olsavsky (soprano), Jonathan Zeng (tenor), Jill Kaeding (cello), Braedon Hofmann (lute/baroque guitar) alongside BBE directors Brandi Berry Benson (violin), and Leighann Daihl Ragusa (flute) on a Chicagoan's quest to catch the Santa El train. This show promises a jolly time of singalongs, games, and merry music to be had by all!
Hailed as “thrilling… charming... performed with such grace... joy, and sincerity that a watcher and listener had to be won over” (Bloomington Herald Times), the BBE offers a fresh approach through its cross-genre music-making and imaginative collaborations at traditional and alternative venues alike. With its “come as you are” approach, the BBE enjoys an interactive experience with its fans across the U.S. from its music, its program mascots, and everything in between that emphasizes community.
