Oh how we’ve longed for this moment that’s finally here! Having rallied through with a virtual offering in 2020, this Christmas, we’re both thankful and thrilled, for the cherished opportunity to perform onstage - live and in our full Lydians’ glory.

As we relish in this welcome return to performance normalcy, we invite you to – Arise, Shine! -

our yuletide production, which over the years has become as much a gift to us, as it is to our audience. Through this year’s edition, we’ll continue our longstanding Lydians’ custom of singing our chorus in the spirit of family and friendship, of using our voices for reason and upliftment. This year, we’re even more delighted to sing for the blessing of our collective freedom, reassurance of your delighted smiles and the joy of being physically cheered on by your happy sways. Arise with us! Arise, and look inward to find the many blessings that this year brought, despite its unique circumstances – arise, and look forward to the sense of renewed hope that Christmas always brings. Shine! Be kind, show love, and make a difference in the life of another, as the divine light of this season illuminates your heart. This Christmas, let the soul-stirring music of our dynamic chorale, bring joy, peace and hope to you and

your loved ones. Arise, Shine!, as you reflect on the blessings of Christmases past, and look forward with joyous anticipation of those yet to come. 11
