The holidays are HERE!  The Kern River Chorus is excited to sing at many local events this winter and we hope that many of you will be around to welcome the Christmas season with us!
The Kernville Candlestroll has already happened and the chorus was pleased to see so many of our friends and neighbors there!  The group caroling was fun and the park is magnificent with the Star Wars Christmas theme!
We have some other events coming up and hope to see you there!
If you would like to try singing with us and developing your voice, we would love to have you join us for regular rehearsals next year, January 9th, at the Senior Center in Lake Isabella.  Singing is a healthy habit to have and can be practiced for a lifetime!  And it's a lot of fun!
We wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
