Celebrate the season with soul, song, and the spirit of community
The holidays are approaching — and so is AfterGlow Chorus’s most anticipated concert of the year, A Not So Silent Night. Tickets are already selling quickly for both Oakland performances, and it’s no surprise why.
This December, join one of the Bay Area’s premier choirs for an unforgettable evening of carols, gospel spirituals, and choral masterworks performed with AfterGlow’s signature artistry and heart.
Whether you’re a long-time concertgoer or discovering us for the first time, this is the perfect way to usher in the season — through music that uplifts, inspires, and connects.
A Holiday Concert That’s Anything But Ordinary
If you’re searching for holiday concerts in Oakland or the San Francisco Bay Area, A Not So Silent Night offers something truly special: a program that pairs tradition with soul.
From beloved carols to gospel-infused spirituals, AfterGlow brings a vibrant energy that transforms familiar melodies into moments of pure joy.
This year’s program includes:
“Glory, Glory, Glory to the Newborn King” (arr. Moses Hogan)
“Rockin’ Jerusalem” (arr. Stacey V. Gibbs)
“What ’Cha Gonna Call the Pretty Little Baby” (arr. Ronald Stevens)
Reimagined classic carols that shimmer with fresh harmony and life
Soul-stirring masterworks that showcase the choir’s power and precision
The result is a concert that blends reverence and celebration — reflective one moment, exhilarating the next.
Why Audiences Are Rushing to Get Tickets
AfterGlow Chorus performances often sell out, and this one is on track to do the same. Audience members describe the ensemble’s concerts as “breathtaking,” “transcendent,” and “some of the best choral singing in the Bay Area.”
It’s not just the music — it’s the atmosphere. St. Paul’s Episcopal Church in Oakland provides a stunning setting near Lake Merritt, with acoustics that let every chord shimmer and stained glass that glows as evening falls.
Add to that AfterGlow’s signature storytelling through song, and it’s easy to see why this has become one of the most anticipated Oakland holiday concerts of 2025.

The Heart Behind the Music
Every AfterGlow performance is built around a story — music that connects people through shared humanity.
Following August’s deeply moving Healing & Heart concert, which honored patients and caregivers through works like Daniel Schreiner’s “Fear Not” and Moses Hogan’s “Hold On”, A Not So Silent Night continues the journey — celebrating light, joy, and togetherness.
It’s a reminder that the holidays are about more than tradition. They’re about the courage to hope, the beauty of connection, and the power of voices rising together in harmony.
