Community and professional choirs, music ensembles, folk and traditional artists, and dance companies perform for an audience in the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion while the program is broadcast live throughout Southern and Central California on KCET.

Attendance and parking are free. No reservations or tickets are necessary. Doors open at 2:30pm. Seating is first come, first served. Attendees can arrive at any time and stay as long as they wish.
Since 2002 the Commission has produced a one-hour television special of selected Holiday Celebration performances for national broadcast by PBS."

This is a great opportunity for Jon!

Does anyone know where it will be broadcast on TV? I doubt I'll get it here, but would like to see it. Maybe someone in Cali will record it for us!

AHHHH I want to go home!!!! Maybe then I can catch a lot more of Jon's shows. 2007!

Some more info on this show is HERE. This article contains details about the show and logistics for those attending.

It also has this to say about Jon: "Making special guest appearances are two alumni of American Idol: Amanda Avila, singing 'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,' and Jon Peter Lewis, performing 'California Christmas.'"
