Join us at Central Machine Works, and kick off your holiday season right: Community Caroling (for voices & instruments) and craft market!

Central Machine Works

Thank you so much for helping us prepare for our community event! We'll see you on December 1, but look for more information just about a week in advance. For any other questions, contact us at chorus_manager@panoramicvoices.org!

Join Panoramic Voices, Density512, and ATX Classical Jam for an afternoon of no-consequences music-making! We'll run two caroling sessions—one focused on casually singing/playing through well-known carols (music/lyrics available on site, including transposed parts for instruments, or sing along on your own!), and one with a focus on sight-reading through well-loved arrangements of classical Christmas repertoire (bring your iPad; we'll air drop you the music! Or feel free to improvise...).This is NOT a performance, but rather a community sing/play along opportunity! Join Panoramic Voices (Austin's inclusive community choir) and ATX Classical Jam (a regular jam session for gigging classical musicians in ATX) for some fun, casual musicking, all supported by professional instrumentalists from local chamber ensemble, Density512. No rehearsals, no consequences! FOOD &amp; DRINKS:The venue is a functional brewery, bar, and restaurant (kids and well behaved dogs are welcome) with an exceptional, modern space. <a href="https://www.cmwbrewery.com" title="https://www.cmwbrewery.com" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Food and drink menus are available here.</a> ARTISAN CRAFT MARKET:We'll even help you get your Christmas shopping done early, with an artisan craft market open from 11-3, available on site! The artisan craft market will feature about 8-10 professional vendors selling pottery, jewelry, art and more! UGLY SWEATERS:Additionally, we'll be judging Ugly Christmas Sweaters—and even showing them off in our Ugly Sweater Parade—with help from our friends at KMFA Classical 89.5! Wear your festive garb, and compete for fun prizes! --- HERE'S THE SCHEDULE: CRAFT MARKET - 11AM-3PM UGLY SWEATER CONTEST - 11:30AM-1:30PM COMMUNITY CHRISTMAS CAROLING - 12:30-1:15PM (Sing/play through classic carols—all voices and instruments welcome—with packets of sheet music and lyrics available for all.) UGLY SWEATER PARADE &amp; JUDGING - 1:30PM CLASSICAL CHRISTMAS JAM - 2:00-3:00PM (Some of ATX's gigging instrumentalists will gather and sight read through classic CLASSICAL Christmas music. All singers &amp; instrumentalists welcome to join! Bring your iPad if you would like AirDropped music—we'll also have a link to pdfs for those who wish to read along from their phones. We'll close with Handel's "Hallelujah Chorus" and the traditional arrangement of "Sleigh Ride." ) --- This event is free and open to the public, but we ask that you RSVP to let us know how many to expect! Music packets will be available online about one week prior to the event, and physical booklets will be available to borrow at the event. Your RSVP allows us to plan ahead and have enough music for everyone! And of course, if you are able, please consider making a small donation (even just $5) with your RSVP—your support allows us to offer more public community events just like these, while partnering with other arts organizations and small businesses!
