On Sunday, Dec. 15 from 3- 5 pm, the Brooklyn Conservatory of Music (BKCM) will present its inaugural Holiday Extravaganza featuring Caroling, Klezmer, Calypso, tea, dance lessons, and more.
Brooklyn Conservatory of Music‘s multicultural celebration invites New Yorkers of all ages to enjoy a variety of musical performances in its historic Park Slope Victorian mansion, including the surrounding gardens and front stoop. Guests can look forward to shows from BKCM’s Klezmer Hanukkah Ensemble, David Bertrand’s Calypso holiday band, and Christmas carolers, among others.
Attendees can visit the delicious Tea Station provided by Tea Arts & Culture and can also participate in dance lessons offered by Asase Ya Cultural Arts Foundation. Additionally, everyone is welcome to join in a special sing-along of Handel’s Messiah, suitable for all ages and skill levels. Guests will also be able to engage in holiday crafts from around the world and can bring their children to explore various musical instruments available at BKCM.
“The more, the merrier,” says Chad Cooper, Executive Director of the BKCM. “We love the holiday season at BKCM, but we truly embrace the spirit of togetherness year-round. We regularly host community events for our neighbors across the city to sing, dance, and enjoy each other’s company through the shared experience of live music. So, whether you celebrate Christmas, Kwanzaa, or Hanukkah—whether you’re a professional musician or simply a singer in the shower—we hope you’ll join our festivities. You won’t find five floors of music anywhere else!”
This inaugural holiday event follows in the tradition of other beloved celebrations at the Conservatory, including its annual benefit, House Party, and the yearly outdoor summer music festival, Open Stages.
Proceeds from the event will support the nonprofit’s programs and its mission to transform lives and build community through the expressive, educational, and therapeutic powers of music. To ensure accessibility for all, the Conservatory is offering pay-what-you-wish ticket pricing for the Holiday Extravaganza, with a suggested donation of $20 per ticket for those who are able.
