With the holiday season quickly approaching, AfterGlow Chorus is gearing up for our debut holiday program, A Not So Silent Night — and remaining seats for both Oakland performances are moving fast.


Discount tickets have officially sold out, and general admission is filling steadily as the Bay Area enters its busiest time of year. If you’re seeking an evening that lets you pause, reconnect, and experience something genuinely uplifting, this concert was designed with that in mind.


A Holiday Concert Filled With Light, Joy, and Musical Firepower

A Not So Silent Night brings together a vibrant blend of reimagined carols, jubilant spirituals, soulful favorites, and luminous choral masterworks — performed by one of the Bay Area’s most expressive ensembles.


Program Highlights Include:

  • “Ding Dong! Merrily on High” — Charles Wood

  • “Angels We Have Heard on High” — Alice Parker & Robert Shaw

  • “Rockin’ Jerusalem” — Stacey V. Gibbs

  • “What ’Cha Gonna Call the Pretty Little Baby” — Ronald Stevens

  • “Ave Maria” — R. Nathaniel Dett

  • “The Word Was God” — Rosephanye Powell

  • “The Christmas Song” — Mel Tormé

  • “This Christmas” — Donny Hathaway

  • “Joy to the World” (Gospel Arrangement) — Mervyn Warren (from The Preacher’s Wife)

  • “Silent Night” — inspired by The Temptations’ iconic Motown rendition


This concert brings out the full spectrum of holiday expression — from shimmering stillness to full-throttle joy.


“One of the most remarkably precise and soulful choirs I’ve ever heard — pure artistry from first chord to last.”— Audience Member, Healing & Heart
